Dirac onboard at no extra charge for $599

Another slick deals front pager

Even after almost 6 years on the market..I still say its worth the $599 if its at least as sonically capable as the Onkyo RZ50 I used to own

Its somewhat amazing Onkyo is getting all this time out of these same models. I have never seen this phenomenon before
At this point they certainly have long captured their development costs and can sell them aggressively priced. Probably a good thing for a section of the market like slick deals

Actual owners seem to be very happy with these models
I suggest reading through the AVS owners' thread for information from them

We will probably see this pop-up off and on until the new models come out next year.
If you're after Dirac Live, this is least expensive option right now.

I haven't been keeping up with the AV world. Is it worth waiting for next year's models? Currently using my 7.2 but I wouldn't mind a better Atmos setup

Community Reviews

The TX NR7100 stands out as a budget friendly way to get Dirac Live, with the $599 price repeatedly framed as the cheapest current entry point and especially strong value when the extra code drops it further. It is praised for easy setup, solid sound, and enough power for normal listening, with 7.2.2 support and two sub outputs adding flexibility. The main drawbacks are its age, lack of pre outs, and basic AccuEQ fallback, plus reports of limp mode or protection behavior with low impedance speakers and occasional reliability concerns. A good fit if Dirac matters more than future proofing or heavy amp expansion.

Quote from ThriftyPayless View quoted comment :
I hate AI, but sometimes its correct:"AI OverviewIt can be incredibly frustrating when a newer, higher-end receiver doesn't give you the same musical satisfaction as an older model you loved. While the Onkyo TX-NR7100 is technically superior on paper with its advanced processing, 9 channels, and premium features, your ears aren't playing tricks on you. There are several concrete engineering and configuration reasons why digital files (like MP3s, FLACs, or AAC streams) might sound warmer, punchier, or simply "better" to you on your older Onkyo TX-NR676.Why the TX-NR676 Might Sound Better to You• The Dirac Live vs. AccuEQ Factor: This is the most likely culprit. The TX-NR7100 uses Dirac Live, an incredibly powerful room correction software. However, Dirac aims for a highly accurate, reference-flat response that can sometimes strip away the "fun," bass-heavy warmth you might be used to. The TX-NR676 uses Onkyo's basic AccuEQ system, which leaves the natural sound signature of your front left and right music speakers mostly untouched, often resulting in a warmer, more familiar sound for music.• Aggressive Digital Filters: The TX-NR7100 has adjustable digital filter settings (Sharp, Slow, Auto) built into its newer DAC architecture. If it is set to "Sharp," compressed digital audio files can end up sounding overly analytical, harsh, or fatiguing in the high frequencies compared to the smoother processing on the NR676.• Crossover and Subwoofer Hand-off: On newer Onkyo firmware, room calibration can sometimes defaults to aggressive crossover points (like cutting off bass at 80Hz or higher). If you are listening to music on the 7100, it might be starving your main tower or bookshelf speakers of their lower-end punch, whereas the NR676 may have been running them full-range."""The difference in how digital music sounds between these two receivers largely comes down to a major hardware change in Onkyo's manufacturing line. The Onkyo TX-NR676 uses a highly regarded AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices) DAC chip, while the Onkyo TX-NR7100 uses a TI (Texas Instruments) Burr-Brown DAC.This shift completely altered the baseline sound profile of Onkyo receivers, changing the way raw digital audio is translated into sound.""The AKM AK4458 is widely considered the better DAC for stereo music and digital files. Music isn't meant to be perfectly flat or clinical; it relies on rhythm, warmth, and a smooth top-end so your ears don't get tired. The AKM chip excels at making digital streams sound less robotic and more like a vinyl record or tape."Ill stick to my NR676, I have the 2 consoles and gaming pc with a RTX5080 direct to the OLED, 4k Blue Ray and Apple TV through the receiver. The gaming 120hz is just fine with reguar audio passed through optical or basic HDMI ARC. I could carless about Dirac or "calibration". I let my ears and brain and the unit's settings to do the calibrating. It not like all the music I listen too all are flat and mastered all the same.
Keep in mind "reading" this AI is not letting your ears and brain determine what is "correct".
Science calls all that confirmation bias.
A perfect example on how it's thee biggest one!

See that's the issue I don't know what mid to upper tier used receivers I should be considering. I figured the pre outs would guarantee I can upgrade the front amps if needed to drive my Dynaudio Audience 72s. Have you got any units you can recommend?
There's really not much to it: any receiver that has full multichannel pre-outs will be at least mid-level. So when you scan through FB Marketplace for used receivers within that $200-400 range, simply google them for that info. A shortcut would be to directly ask an AI to confirm whether that specific model has multi-channel pre-outs or not, and if the answer is yes and you find one that fits your budget range, do a final confirmation (AI is roughly 80-90% accurate so don't take its result as gospel) by googling for the PDF owner's manual of that model, where you can definitively find out. Just stick to big brands like Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo/Integra, Pioneer/P-Elite, and Marantz.

My Yamaha RXA2010 died on Friday. I really loved it since it had the multichannel analog inputs for listening to SACDs and DVD-Audios. I immediately started looking for a replacement only to find out that it can't be replaced unless I buy a used one. I thought about it for a few hours and decided not to go that route. I wanted a new one with new features to me.

This ended up being an all-day ordeal on my laptop but finally made my decision late last night on the TX-NR7100. I only have a 5.1 setup, which I'm happy with, and will not ever need the pre-outs. I never used them on my Yamaha. I didn't want to spend a $1000 so this one is in the perfect price range.

Please post an update after you get it, would be curious how you like it vs the old Yamaha.

Those Dynaudios really prefer solid clean power. I would recommend looking for used 2-3 channel external amp. The receiver, look for popular brands with features you just mentioned/need.
Yes I know I may need an external amp but it also means I need a used AVR with preouts and I have no idea how or where to get one that isn't somebody else junk.

Is anybody aware of any static noise problem on this receiver? I ordered this one to replace my current Pioneer VSX-524. The static noise on Pioneer receiver has been bothering me for a long time. I want a receiver that does not have the annoying static noise.

I have a fifteen year old Yamaha RX-A2010 that has pre-outs, multichannel analog inputs for hi resolution music, and a top of the line receiver back in the day. You are welcome to have it at no cost but can't guarantee that it works. I live in Charlotte, NC if that is anywhere close to you.
