Even better: these AVR/AVP were designed with Dirac ART in mind. And it´s exactly the reason why I bought a 2023 Denon. Hopefully they don´t keep us waiting forever on this cherry on the Dirac Live cake.
BTW I won´t buy DLBC now unless it´s on sale like PHD suggests. If this doesn´t materialize I´ll wait until the release of ART to combine both licences, partly because I´m already very happy with Dirac Live FB combined with 4 subwoofers across the room.

Eeeek, someone on AVS bought the C40 DLBC license but was unable to get it to show up… seems like U32 is a requirement for activation

I doubt it. But would like to see some facts to the contrary.

Dirac have now removed Dirac Bass Control from the Cinema 40 web page…!
Dont Worry
The new HEOS update just got announced
denon.com/en-gb/inside-denon/heos-optimized-for-you.html
This requires firmware U32
At the end of the video there is a mention that DLBC is available now.
We are only waiting for the U32 firmware to drop
My guess is that the Cinema 40 page on Dirac was just used as a template for the D&M DLBC launch and was accidentally put online.
I expect everything to be finalized and available in the next couple of days, including the DLBC 30% discount

IMHO this depends on the capabilities of both your main speakers and your subwoofer. One subwoofer combined with modest bookshelf speakers will probably give underwhelming results.
This is ridiculous prices, I will stick to Anthem with ARC Genesis!It's not pulled from the air... it is quoted on Dirac's website.
The price for the ART licence as an add on to an existing DLBC licence is US$299
Dirac Live for StormAudio - Dirac
Active Room Treatment for StormAudio calibrates your speakers as a unified system and uses each speaker's strengths leading to unmatched clarity.www.dirac.com
Bundle price for Dirac Full Frequency + DLBC multisub is US$649
So in "bundled" reduced pricing terms we have US$950
In full fat standard pricing:
Dirac Live Full US$350
DLBC Multi US$500
ART US$250
Total "unbundled" Pricing = US$1100
Dirac have been consistent in their pricing across platforms, so I see no reason to conclude that this will change now.
However, yes they have periodically had sales, with discounts of up to 30% (a 30% discount from the bundled pricing would be around US$650... one can hope!)
Yep, the new Arc Genesis is outstanding!
I believe that ARC genesis equates to Dirac Live... it doesn't have the more advanced Bass tuning provided by DLBC or DL-ART
So the hierarchy of DSP room treatments is, I believe (roughly)
- Yamana YPAO, Onkyo AccuEQ, Pioneer MCACC, and other base schemes
- DiracLive, Audyssey, ARC - the "high quality" DSP room treatments
- Dirac DLBC - step up in bass integration
- Dirac-ART, Trinnov - current state of the art systems

I thought the ARC Genesis does exactly the same what DLBC multisub does without extra costs in MRX1140 or AVM70 and 90 models which are the only ones to have separate dual sub outs. @peng knows more?
Not sure I agree with your classification!
