Community Reviews
The Onkyo TX-RZ30 is a 9-channel AVR that stands out for Dirac room correction, dual independent subwoofer outputs, and strong value at this price. It is repeatedly framed as a better fit than pricier Denon alternatives when you do not need more than 9 channels, and the included Dirac calibration is praised for sounding great after setup. The main cautions are that Dirac Bass Control and other add-ons can raise the real cost, and the 170W power rating is described as misleading. Shipping and warranty support can also be a hassle because the unit is heavy and expensive to send back.
A working coupon code can apply successfully, which can reduce the effective purchase price.
The receiver can process up to nine channels, which fits common 5.1.4 Atmos-style layouts well.
The RZ30 includes dual independent sub outputs, which supports more flexible subwoofer bass integration.
Dirac calibration can sound great after setup, especially for listeners who want room correction benefits.
Onkyo HDMI reliability history can be a concern, including reports of HDMI handshake failures and expensive repair experiences from earlier models.
Shipping may not be free at checkout, since PayPal can add a shipping charge while a credit card may remove it.
The included Dirac Live (DL) does not include Dirac subwoofer or bass correction, so bass calibration may rely on AVR bass management instead.
Dirac licenses can be refundable, but refunding can remove the calibration because the filter stops working in the AVR.

In this case I did get lucky after all the back and forth BS, I have a brand new RZ70 sitting on the shelf, so that's my insurance.
If you need the extra channels then yes it would.
Some would say Dirac Live but with the advent of A1EVO Express, that advantage isn't really there anymore.
Here is a feature comparison.

-2 independent sub outs (rz50 doesn't have this)
-9ch is more than enough for 90% home theaters let alone a living room
-Dirac ready. Only need to pay for DLBC depending on your needs
Sure, next model will be capable of Dirac ART (very likely for an extra fee) but is also reportedly to be significantly more expensive
It has 20w more power per ch (they claim) - this is negligible
- 2 additional channels with an amp - 9 is plenty for most of us
- 1 additional hdmi port - few utilize all hdmi ports
-But it lacks a second independent sub out which to me is huge
Is there anything else??? Not like the DACs are upgraded.
If you don't need more than 9 channels(I agree most don't) and after Dirac , this is best unit to get especially for this price ime.
The new models adding access to ART will come with a hefty cost/MSRP.
Then you still need to pay an extra $600 to get it!
As great as ART is(own it) not many people will get the worth out of the high cost ime.
Just look at this past BF Dirac sale.
Denon/Marantz owners could have gotten it for $560.
Very few people bought it.
Most don't even find DLBC worth the cost imo.
If you use a sub(s), DLBC will suffice for most people ime.
