I guess if you use all that it would be beneficial, but I don't think I could ever leave Dirac Live behind as long as I am listening to two-channel music. Audyssey would probably pacify me for movies, but it just can't match Dirac Live for two-channel.

I am not using Dirac anymore, but I will be down the road... I miss it. I have others telling me to stick with the Yamaha as it is more reliable than the Marantz, or Denon, and is built better. Maybe I will wait until Yamaha adds Auro3d... I did see a review that I posted for Todd where a reviewer claimed Auro3d was an option for Yamaha AVRs...although that is the first I have ever heard. If it is true I will def keep the Yamaha for a long time. I was hoping Yamaha would have came out with Dirac in the new model...I would have very seriously considered upgrading to it just for Dirac (even though I want Auro3d too).
