Onkyo TX-SR343 vs Marantz NR1403 comparison definitely makes sense.

Characteristics of digital to analog converter (DAC) are different, TI Burr-Brown 192 KHz/24-bit for TX-SR343 and 192 KHz/24-bit for the NR1403. None of the models support Bi-amping. The Marantz NR1403 can transmit an audio signal directly to the amplifier and bypasses any DSP processing.
