The quality and features that are packed into this receiver make it one of the best values in the electronics market today, bar none! Now if they would stop jacking with the “supply chain” and availability wasn’t an issue, all would be good. Btw, take the time necessary to run the Dirac program, you will not believe the results. One thing you can count on though, is Audiolab’s commitment us as customers. Their service was impeccable. Thanks, guys! Btw, take the time necessary to run the Dirac program, you will not believe the results and there are numerous Youtube videos that show you how to do it (easy, just use a laptop and not your phone).
