Rated 5 out of 5 by from NOW the 4800 is Next Level! Dirac Live is Here! So the receiver was already a top notch upgrade, saying you have a nice set of speakers and a quality sources. But Dirac Live (Full Version) is next level, this is your reason to upgrade to the AVR-X4800H. It makes such a cohesive and balanced bubble of sound after properly* configuring Dirac (make sure to watch a few YouTube videos). Save the default results as flat, and then create a movie and music curve the way you want it to sound. Once you have it how you think* you want it, upload it to the AVR and take it for a spin. Dirac has finally freed Denon AVR's into something exceptional, not just great. JUST FYI: You'll need a MiniDSP Umik-1 (or version 2, but not necessary), the curve text file from MiniDSP (90 degree version), a microphone stand to place the mic as instructed, the full Dirac license, your laptop annnd everyone out of the room (as close to absolute silence as possible). Watch some videos on setting up Dirac 3 so that you understand the initial settings etc. After each position is completed, hold on to your hats! You may need to adjust volumes here and there afterward, but you will notice that, wow, this thing sounds WAY better than Audyssey on its very best day in a perfect world with the Apps. Denon, thank you for adding Direc Live 3, now can we have Dirac Bass Management and Dirac ART (Active Room Treatment)? Unstoppable? Thank you in advance.

If I put my X4800h into full preamp mode (using as a pre/pro) and connect it to a power amp to drive all my speakers, will I still be able to use Dirac if I purchase it? In other words, by using a power amp, wiil purchasing Dirac be inneffective?

Asked by: Mark590
Hi Mark444, With the AVR-X4800H, Dirac Live settings are housed entirely in the processor stage, so internal or external amplification can be used without fear of Dirac being by-passed.

I would like to use a Buckeye Hypex power amp with my x4800h. The Hypex amp says it has an input sensitivity of 1.6V. Will the preamp outs on the x4800h be sufficient to fully drive the power amp?

Asked by: Mark308
H mark44458, Yes - the Hypex will pair well with the AVR-X4800H from an input sensitivity point of view.
