Likely to continue for the next 3 years also!
I highly suggest you take a look at A1Evo express.
It basically offers comparable Dirac room correction performance for free!
Game changer for D&M owners!

I did have problems with streaming Tidal on them which was obviously a Tidal problem since other services worked fine. It does not support Youtube Music and when trying to stream it using bluetooth, the receiver would frequently stop playing and require power cycling to try again. I gave up on that and just went back to Spotify.
You're better off going used.
With so many switching to soundbars, you can score a very capable AVR for less than this ime.
Here is a comparison to see the differences:

Especially if someone uses a subwoofer.
Another thing that immediately jumped out to me is that the treble on the center channel is not muted like it is on other receivers I have used. It has its pros and cons, but overall I have started to like it more each day. I used to live and die by Re-EQ on my older Integra, but I really don't know any longer. I haven't had a THX Select receiver for a while, and that is the only thing I miss.
For me, I own all three Dirac licenses(Dl,DLBC,ART) & have used it on other setups.
I have used A1EVO several times also.
In my experience they are very comparable especially compared to Dirac Live(& DLBC imo).
There are plenty of "experts" over on AVS that agree.
Here is only one thread regarding A1EVO:
https://www.avsforum.co
You have often boasted that so many people find DLBC & ART very beneficial.
You suggested a AVR that only offers Dirac Live.
Hence the question whether you find DLBC and or ART beneficial or not?
Especially since Dirac Live will cost an extra $300 & A1EVO is free!

Took me 2 hours to try to clean up some wires around the rack the other day. It really is tiring so I can see why some just buy a nice soundbar these days, but I just love the Denon sound and my equipment. Actually just picked up an old Sonly S790 for $30 on Ebay for regular blurays (use xbox for 4k) and just love it.
Thanks again, enjoy the system!
