Love the video, I have had nothing but issues with running Dirac live on the Denon a1h. It's to the point I just stuck with MULTEQ X. Until they've ironed out their issues in that update. Other than that, absolutely remarkable receiver. Love everything about it!!

@@homecinemaking397 having issues where when I do "select arrangements" it gives me nothing but imprecise measurements over and over again. I tried to change the microphone gain, lower it, I've tried to turn up the master volume. Same thing repeatedly, Dirac representative told me to downgrade to 3.4.4 to fix the issue. Then 3.4.4 had its own issues. I just spent so much time not getting anywhere with it. I've had a little better luck with it on a Mac computer versus me doing it on Windows, lot of people have stated that it's a Windows update That's causing dirac to malfunction. He was just a little too expensive for me to try to use something that wasn't working for me at the time.

@@homecinemaking397sorry I missed that part! thanks for pointing 🙏 I fully agree the remote should have looked like a flagship one as well. And I also do the same with my 8500H remote while watching a movie as it lights up with the slightest vibration 😀 but still love the fact that it is motion sensitive. By the way I loooooveee the remote of my Nvidia Shield TV Pro's remote with the same motion sensing backlit and works flawlessly and doesn't light up unnecessarily!

If we bring stereo into the mix then Audio Control. But apart from that A1H all the way.

while you and I may differ on Subs. This is a super impressive RECIEVER AND ABOUT TIME FOR DENON. The price is the only downside. You can get mega close to this beast for half the price. That said If you have the $ I can think of no other AV receiver that offers as much as this does in features that said It is hard to pass up Emotiva Basx MR1 that is splitting hairs with this beast but doing so for about $4500 cheaper + a military discount. I would if I had the need for 15 channels and 4 sub outputs save my pennies and get this bad boy however I don't need that much in my av rooms any of them. The people that have medium size theaters in their home will and could definitely benefit here and 6k + will not be a issue for them. Over all very impressive if you have the $ to get it.

It makes no sense to offer a more sophisticated remote, because if they did, it wouldn't be everything for everyone. Most people buying an AVR of this quality will have a dedicated universal remote, so it would increase the price unnecessarily for those who have a universal handset. Same goes for including Dirac. Again - it would up the price unnecessarily for those who don't use it. Many will be using the optional Audyssey software because it does 99% of what Dirac offers for less money.
