The above Amazon link now leads to a picture of dog
Product support pages for the Onkyo TX-8470 at the link below make no mention of Dirac Live. There appears to be no provision to plug in a microphone on the TX-8470 and no microphone is listed with what is 'included in the box'

Onkyo USA now shows the TX-8470 stereo receiver as does the page at Amazon. Amazon mentions 'Dirac Full Band' as a Special Feature but I see no mention of Dirac in the documentation for the TX-8470 from Onkyo

I agree that the Onkyo's specs show no Dirac logo that is associated with this product. Just about every other logo though. That's a shame if it isn't.
there's no obvious mic socket
unless they can work it thru usb
the biggest takeaway i have from this is that this does NOT look like a product worth $799
the whole build quality and back panel does not look very nice at all
also Class G???? hmmm

Yes I find the amp topology change interesting....
Should result in power savings for low power use (most of the time!) - Heat reduction as well...
Will be interesting to see it on the bench!
