ARC has received very high reviews all over for its effectiveness. If you search for ARC vs. Dirac you will find a lot of forum posts comparing the two.
I also considered Anthem pre-pros but not at that price. A few less costly units (NAD i believe) have some form of Dirac onboard. Trevor has mentioned a few.
