I can't seem to find a single AVR that supports HDMI 2.1, Dirac Live full-frequency, and Dirac Live Bass Control. The few that support Bass Control seem like they are all buggy messes. Half of them have shipped without working Dirac, the other half cost north of $4k while measuring worse than my microwave in terms of audio quality. And even then, none of them seem to support HDMI 2.1, which sucks, because who in their right mind would spend $4k on an AVR that can't even do 4K HDR @ 4:4:4 120Hz!
Are there any worthwhile AVRs at all in this sphere?
Edit: After some research, I've found the DDRC-88A with the DDRC-88BM provides BM almost as good as DLBC for a fourth of the cost. You can read my findings here. This is probably the route I will go, alongside the cheapest AVR that supports HDMI 2.1 pre-outs, since ASR has shown us that basically all AVRs have terrible audio pipelines regardless of price.
