wow, competent 9.2 AVR w/ DLBC for $998. great value, obvious choice over the X3800H unless you need those last two channels.

I'm holding tight, waiting to see which PAC AVR's end up with ART support...

Currently have the DRX3.4 - the number of channels suits me fine, but I would like a 2nd sub channel (want to move from 5.1.4 to 5.2.4+ART)

The entire range from NR7100 on up have the same processors, so in hardware terms all of them can support ART (ie: all the PAC AVR's with Dirac) - but it is already clear that they are making marketing led decisions on where to deploy some updates... ie: which AVR's have receiver DLBC support and which haven't!

There has been no formal commitment to bring ART to any of the current generation, and PAC have told us that they are "working on the next generation".

So although there are some great deals out there (and with ART becoming available on D&M gear, discounts on PAC gear without ART upgrade options, are PAC's only defence, so no surprise!).... I would be sitting tight unless one absolutely needs a new AVR.

ART is generating a storm out there... the other manufacturers (other than D&M) will need to respond - and discounts only get you so far!

Great value:
Dirac Live - LX305
Dirac Live BC - RZ30
Dirac Live ART - x3800h

I live in hope that we will see Dirac ART come to the RZ30.... providing a fantastic solution for those of us targeting 5.2.4
