Dirac ART is now running on beta FW for Denon Xx800H AVRs!

[EWL5]

If it's for a single license (not bundled) then it's usually 30%.

30% was 2 years ago. Last year was 20% off.

Ah, yes it was two years ago I bought the x4800. They had 30% of Dirac Live and then later offered DBLC at an introductory offer at 30% discount, as they missed the BF window when they launched it.

Since DIRAC China offered a 20% discount for the Double Eleven sale, I'm guessing the Black Friday deal this year will also be 20% off.

Was it 20% for the bundle offers as well? They are currently discounted at between 8-20% over single licence prices.

I'm in for Dirac ART, already having the Live and DLBC but all discounts help

It is indeed 20% off.

What if your unit gets fried or you want to upgrade in the future?

What if your unit gets fried or you want to upgrade in the future?

Nothing is sure but...

From what I understand, if your unit is damaged beyond repair and it gets substituted with the same model, you can transfer the license, contacting support.

If you want to upgrade, you can transfer the license to a different user, in case of a second hand sale. If you don't sell, the licenses go with the unit and are lost. Again, for this you need to contact support.

It's always been the sales model that the license is tied to the unit. Same with my Arcam SR250. It's just that the license cost was included in the sale price of the unit with the Arcam, not de-coupled as it is now. If the unit fails, I can transfer the license to a similar unit, but not to a different model.

In my case I'm not looking to upgrade from the x4800, but if it fails within a few years and that leaves me having to source a 2nd hand x4800, then yes, that would be a pain. Hopefully, as I'm using the unit purely in pre-amp mode it'll be less prone to failure.
