I've had the VSX-LX303 for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. No issues whatsoever pushing all 9 channels at any volume level. This is pretty tempting but I would need to research the benefits I would gain with this upgrade. Assuming the build quality and features are on par or better than my model, this is a solid deal

I'm having a lot of eArc drama with my Denon S960, she and my Samsung 90B do NOT get along! How do the Pioneers play along via eArc?

I have same issue with my Onkyo NR6050 that I picked up from Costco. The eARC acts funny with my LG G2. Especially when I have Xbox connected through it. Now I connected everything straight to the tv and use eARC. But sometimes it doesn't work

The main reason people get is because Dirac.
Here is a comparison of the two.

Lol thanks I just realized I have the 305 and was thinking this was the 505 and if that was worth it. Dirac Live is amazing btw, so much better than YPAO that I came from.

Finally got to compare Audyssey and Dirac and still playing around with them.

Very comparable and not sure I actually needed it but so far slight edge to DLBC.

I think they're pretty equal. I have the Vsx-lx305 and wish I got the onkyo because of the klipsch optimizer function. I have reference premieres.

But, if you don't have klipsch RP speakers (which aren't even that good anyway) I'd go with Pioneer because it has an extra year warranty and both have dirac live.

Very similar and only a few feature differences.
A few Onkyo has THX cert, no global crossovers, virtual X, jitter reduction, an extra 2.1 input.
Here is a comparison of the two.

This one has no pre-outs correct? I want to upgrade an old receiver I have, but I want pre-outs due to having an amp.

Not for all channels, no. Just zone 2 and subs. Check the pics on adoramas website. They show them on the back. I got the 505 a few months back and it has all the pre outs.

This seems to compare well against the Denon x2800H which costs a bit more. Looking to replace a Denon x1300W for hdmi2.1 support and w/e other upgrades I can get, Dirac sounds interesting. Not worried about using an amp down the road. Currently running 5.1 but interested in going to 5.1.2 soonish. This unit a good spot to be probably?

5.1.2 is a gateway drug to 5.1.4, so yea a 9.2 is probably the minimum if you have a good deal like this one.
