Dirac Live will allow you to plug the UMIK-1 USB calibration microphone directly into the AVR, if you so wish, as opposed to the laptop or PC that Dirac Live is running on.
As far as I understand, this is a first for Dirac Live!
UPDATE 9 Jun 2023: Even though the manual does not mention this, it does work. I have tested it with my Marantz Cinema 50, and the UMIK-1 will show up like below on the Marantz. This is pretty incredible if you ask me. No other manufacturer does this.
