Pure direct is a necessary function of an AVR, as much as phono input ;)

Touché :)

Is it Tidal Connect or Tidal app for Android TV? If the later, then it should support multichannel Atmos, but app itself is pretty unusable.

2 sub channels are confirmed in support page: https://support.onkyousa.com/hc/en-us/articles/29890156389524-TX-RZ30-Speaker

I would say brilliant use of AI (not!) by Google.

Both Dirac and bass management are DSP programs. And it is not like AVR doesn't perform BM, when this feature is missing in Dirac. I...

Would be nice, but I doubt Onkyo would give name RZ30 for a truly new design. It looks like a remake of NR7100.

The point is, that Onkyo don't misname RZ30, it should be a lower model than RZ50 and missing some features rather than adding more like...

With digital input, pure direct is kind of misleading. There could be DSP included.

I think limited license doesn't exist anymore. Maybe you got upgrade?

Precisely, this was triggered after SNR test at full power and was repeated during a test with 44W continuous. The later probably...

9 amps * 2*26V supply * 50mA idle current = 23.4W idle power draw for amp section. Then the rest is about 10W. Changing to 2*62V supply...

What is inexplicable? All looks quite normal for me.

Playing at -40 adds maybe 2-3W to idle power draw. Hardly visible at the scale of the graph. And sure, at this level, supply capacitors...
