This chart shows that the 3800 will get Dirac. The second chart shows it will share the same DSP as the higher end models. Not sure why Denon would put in a more expensive DSP unless they were going to put it into use. From the Dirac point of view, why would they care if they can move the product down market and price the same?Knowing how Dirac licensing works I highly doubt that receivers in the price range of the 3800 (and its Marantz sibling) will get anything more than basic Dirac Live (as it happens with Onkyos). I'd be very suprised if they'd get Bass Control for single subwoofer, I would bet money that they'll never get DLBC for multiple subs that is available only for top of the line products from most expensive brands (and you must also pay more than 500$/€ for it).
