You might try some of the forum vendors on AVS -- they may still have stock.That "ELITE" logo on the front of the Pioneer sure looks nice but it can't replace the extra XLR outputs on the Integra.
Yes, I reached out to one over there but it’s been on backorder for a while. I may decide to pivot to the Pioneer or perhaps even the Denon 6800 or the Anthem 1140. Let’s see - I’ll give it a couple of more days.You might try some of the forum vendors on AVS -- they may still have stock.
I agree. The Integra is still much cheaper than the X6800 especially when you factor in Dirac costs. The only small problem is that you can’t get your hands on it easily . I gave up and just went with the X6800. In hindsight I’m very pleased with the unit.It's funny rereading the first few pages of this thread with people complaining about the price. They don't age well. The value proposition the Integra offers blows away D & M in my opinion and the product has sold so well the street price is about the same as MSRP was a year ago and they are backordered everywhere. Am I wrong? I still want a pre/pro version.

I'm waiting too but think dlbc is 90% of the solutionJust need ART already.
Depends on your setup and intent - I'm waiting for ARTI'm waiting too but think dlbc is 90% of the solution
Sounds to me as if that is exactly the type of thing that ART takes care of.Does anyone know if ART takes care of SBIR effects? What will the range of correction be?
Yes, 6 is the max, assuming you run 5 bed layer channels. I decided to just run 4 in-ceiling (top) channels because of the preponderance of content that is limited to 2 height channels -- in this case, only the center pair of a 6 channel height layout is utilized. You can check the channel utilization of a variety of movies in this thread:What is the maximum number of height channels one could use with drx8.4 ? I feel like 6 will be optimum, reflecting the 6 base layer channels.
Yes. It's in the quick menu, audio, stereo assign.Does anyone know if I can use surrounds as stereo? Currently, front mains are stereo.. but I would like to try out surrounds and rears as an independent stereo pairs..
I haven't seen release notes yet, but it looks like they may have added some Mono source mixing options under Audio Adjust.Anybody here, knows what the last firmware can do ?
Not comparable the cinema 40 only 9 ch and is not comparable at all as it lacks so much (that’s why I cancelled my order. The Integra comes with xlr for front three channels, Dirac live with lisence included Integra is what I’ll get after I sell my Yamaha RXA8A (glitchy af)It has good numbers, but the price is very high. Much higher than a Marantz C40
