Hey everyone,
New owner here. Very pleased with 4800 featureset so far. I am now thinking of purchasing the Dirac bundle. I know its better and more capable than Audyssey. Anyone have any tips on that? Should I go for it? I am using 5.2.0 setap with neuman speakers and planning on adding 2 atmos speakers this year. My living room is lightly treated for mid/high frequencies.
Thank in advance.

Yes, I do A-B comparison with Audyssey and Dirac and much prefer the latter. Of course in an ideal world you can achieve equally good results with Audyssey but 'from scratch' without any room treatment apart from curtains and a lot of wood I suggest Dirac.
Before trying Dirac you could try OCA's Evo1 scripts - it's evolving a lot now, is free, and sound may well be just as good. Nothing to loose also, instead of buying the (very) expensive Dirac software...
Edit: Here’s a large thread on AVS about it (Neuron is the 5th or something incarnation of it): link

Went Dirac with my X4800H and never looked back (also got Dirac in the Black Friday deal). Though do keep in mind that I was used to Dirac from my previous setup (PC, Dirac Live Processor).
IMHO it sounds even better on the 4800H. Whether that is because it was measured and compiled with a 3 year newer version or me accidentally having chosen more suitable measurement points I cannot say. I love the result so now it's "Do not touch my system... or else!" :'D
I second the suggestion to give Audyssey a shot though. Maybe you like it enough to save the expense. Nothing to lose but a little time and maybe 20ish bucks for the smartphone app.
