Integra DRX-5.4 9.2 Channel Network 8K AV Reciever

The Integra replaced aarantz SR5013 that sounded great, I just needed more channels and power. I fully expected this to be very bass heavy (Onkyo trademark) but after running Dirac live my mind was absolutely blown! Dirac live did such a great job calibrating my system that I was hard pressed to find anything that needed to be changed. The sound is so crisp, and so detailed (mind you I am coming from a Marantz, clarity and detail is what Marantz is all about) that I found myself watching movies just for the sake of hearing them in a way I never have before. This receiver has more than enough power for any setup and most speakers, and Dirac Live is the real deal. If you are into home theater and are looking to make a significant jump into the premium tier, look no further, Integra has always had the reputation of being on the forefront of audio technology and high end components, you won't go wrong.

The eArc function just worked for my Oppo 103 and Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu-Ray/ 4k / SACD & DOLBY AUDIO players. Able to use the OSD 3 CHANNEL (165x 3 "H" amp) with LCR speakers. My Prarsound phono pre-amp uses the RCA INPUTS for top notch direct stereo or DTS: Natural X.I've been using mine (ordered during the Pandemic) since late 2021. I had to wait for 6 months.
