Honestly I don't know, I look at the spec sheet and I'm really puzzled. If a boutique company like Lyngdorf can make a device that does almost everything* this one does except it has more power, includes one of the best room correction systems on the market (complete with a high quality...

At this price it should have room correction. Otherwise you have better options from Lyngdorf (with RoomPerfect) and NAD (with Dirac). Without room correction there's the EVO 150 from Cambridge Audio, with similar streaming capabilities but a lot more power.

Well it was thouroughly measured, it’s not a subjective opinion… NAD stuff hasn’t fared so well lately, in general. I think just the M33 got a pass. I’m quoting just from memory so could be entirely wrong, but I believe this receiver is compatible with modules v1 and there isn‘t and extremely...

Wasn‘t this kindof skewered on ASR for being rather mediocre? I was looking into buying one but no HDMI 2.1 and lots of bugs and problems in the owners’ threads.

One split into two.

Todd, it’s been so nice that you’ve been carrying the torch on these new AV receivers and they turned out not to be vapourware. Thank you!

This manual suggests to me that you need to measure each speaker in all the mike positions before moving on to the next speaker. Is this so? Seems cumbersome. Normally measurements are done for all speakers in a given mike position. At least that's the case for Audyssey, ARC, YPAO.

He’s got a pre-production model to demo the HDMI features. I’m also eager to hear any info on the new receivers, but no joy so far. I don’t even know if there‘s any difference whatsoever between the 505 vs the RZ50 apart from the chassis and branding.

Neither product has been launched.

So, does anybody know, are these receivers the same thing with a different brand/case or is there some meaningful difference in amplification and DACs? So far the only thing that’s different is Integra having the integration compatibility and advanced web configuration.

I I was planning to buy it, but sure..

I would also like that RZ50, and even more its equivalent 5.4 Integra, but I have serious doubts as to a July release. Even if everything goes well. It’s literally next month, and this stuff isn’t listed anywhere. I will be in the market for two AV receivers in August and I can wait a bit, but...

Do you have a link to this announcement? I cannot see the press release on their website.

All good, I just find it extremely worrying that no products are being made. No stock anywhere. Not even high margin stuff, like the expensive Pioneer bluray players which were the only high quality universal players left after Oppo.

From your keystrokes to God's ears - perhaps they'll pull a Phoenix-like recovery but they don't seem to have any manufacturing going on whatsoever at the moment, and this has been going on for a while.
