Q: Why isn't Dirac included? It is with a Onkyo that costs substantially less.
A: That is a mind boggling question. The Dirac is an application that would enhance the performance of the Marantz - Cinema 30, but Marantz did not have an agreement to include this package even though the cost of purchasing the Receiver is exceedingly high and one would think that the answer would be the reverse. I am still holding on and would like to see Marantz offer this option especially based on the purchase price.

Ill first start this review by stating I am quite the audiophile currently running a 9.2.4 system. I replaced my denon x6300h which at the time was the best receiver I had personally ever heard… until I installed this. Blew me away in almost every aspect. Its nothing something you can even put into words how good everything sounds. If you are contemplating this do not hesitate. I will note this unit is several inches deeper than standard receiver so be mindful for certain installs.

I'm still in the process of learning the Cinema 30. This item has quite a few features. Once connections are made, the simplicity in operating is straight forward and quick. The sounds are crisp and honors high fidelity at it's best. I am very proud to own such craftsmanship! As stated earlier, I still have a ways to go. Sometimes I may want to just listen to music without the television. I may or may not be able to champion. At the moment, I believe this item has to be linked to your TV (as one) for creating the home gateway. It has immense power you can not shy away from just turning that dial! Later, could be a much higher rating.
