I own one of these. I've owned 5 receivers in my life and this one is the worst. Do not buy. The receiver will not sync audio AT ALL when the chain is source --> Receiver --> TV. The ONLY way to get it to sync audio is by using eARC which entirely defeats the purpose of having multiple inputs. Their customer service department I e-mailed even admitted this is a known problem and they don't know if it will ever be fixed via firmware. Dirac is fine but I prefer audyssey since dirac has no audio compression tools whatsoever. If you're listening to a movie or show that has poor audio post production then there is no way to fix it with compression, you're just screwed. Also the receiver has a really stupid power saving feature that makes loud clicks to go into full power mode every time you go louder than -22dB relative. Lastly, the component video input is fake and does not support HD resolutions so I don't even know why they put it on the unit. Denon did the same thing with their fake component input but they are both the same corporation so that makes sense.

I have an entirely different set of issues. The front display on mine went dead about 6 months into ownership. I've got to drive it about 1.5 hours to drop it off to their repair shop in Winston/Salem.
Real bummer coming from a 10 year old Yamaha workhorse. Just needed 4k, Dirac and all the stuff with the modern AV...
Going back, I'd probably grab a new Yamaha and not worry as much about Dirac, although it is very nice.
