@Mr.Satyre Does your Integra have a slight hum in the subs during the quiet parts of the movie? Also this hum is a bit louder if Dirac calibration is started. Is this another one of the compromises the team has to make to ship out the product? There are few reports of this latest generation...

Thank you @Mr.Satyre for sharing this additional information. I held myself back waiting for Class-D forever mainly because of heat concerns but the reduced price was such an attractive bargain to let go for features it was delivering that I took a chance to see if heat is going to be a concern...

I upgraded from Pioneer Elite SC-37 to Pioneer VSX-LX805 (these are the US models since I am in USA). I can tell you that besides all the things that @Mr.Satyre has called out my real world experience of this upgrade. Few things that important I think to note in my setup are: My AVR goes into a...

Thank you for responding @Mr.Satyre and clarifying further. I am sorry to cause confusion. I was simply trying to emphasize the point you made because you said that PQFS is a unique feature only available in Pioneer and not available in other brands like Onkyo or Integra. I believe you have...

Thank you for responding @Mr.Satyre. You are a great source of information. Can you also guide me if there is anything one has to enable in order to take advantage of PQFS? There is a PQLS setting under HDMI which I turned ON and in the iOS apps, I always see that PQLS is OFF when checking...

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for sharing this additional information.

Thanks for sharing. You are happy means the way Dirac did your tuning turned out to be different and better is how I understood your message. I am a bit surprised to read about your results because I thought Dirac will always tune the same/ a very similar way. It seems it is a myth then. When I...

I am wondering how did the new AVR faired. Did it address your concerns and issues? Any update to share here?

@Mr.Satyre Are you talking about PQLS and PQFS is a typo? I was finally able to get a slightly used Pioneer LX805. I have enabled PQLS under HDMI sources but that is not showing PQLS is enabled when I play via ApplePlay which is played over the network. I am checking this information in the...

Thank you John for clarifying what constitutes as selected measurement(s). I understand why I am not able to rearrange among the WHITE background measurements. I have to first make the measurements I do not want to move into a GREY background. Once you have good bit of measurements, if the...

Hi @John Mulcahy can you please add more details to "if you first select the measurement(s)" statement? In the ALL SPL tab, is there any visual indication if a measurement(s) is selected? All I see is either WHITE or GREY background. Is it possible to visually show if measurement(s) are selected...

@Guilherme66 Since you are getting the sound you like using AccuEQ, I believe the problem is not speaker placement. I believe Dirac tries to flatten the frequency response whereas AcceEQ has limitations on how flat it make the response due to its limited Graphic EQ sliders. Essentially, if...

@John Mulcahy Using build 69 and even previous builds, I always struggle to rearrange a measurement by dragging it up and down. Is there some trick that I am missing? FYI, I do not use any grouping features. I have noticed that if I click on the measurement to grey it out then I can move the...

@Mr.Satyre Do you know what happened to Pioneer brand. As per https://ir.gentex.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gentex-signs-definitive-agreement-acquire-voxx-international there is no mention of Pioneer. Is the Pioneer Home AV brand orphaned again and we are not going to see more...

I have been and still are a Pioneer fanboy. I like the sound, quality and style of their product as they speak to me and meet my needs. Just because I am fan, I do not go blind and still do my research. In this particular instance, due to all the features and the cost of this AVR compared to...
