What is better - Onkyo TX-SR343 vs Yamaha RX-V579BL?

Amplifier

The number of channels for receivers is different - 5.1 versus 7.2, respectively, for devices. In terms of power, there are differences, the TX-SR343 has such a ratio W/Ohm - 100/6, while the RX-V579BL has a power of 115/6. The value of total harmonic distortion is also different, and for the TX-SR343 it is 0.08%, but for the RX-V579BL it is 0.09%.

Audio features

The manufacturer installed different DACs, the TX-SR343 received the model TI Burr-Brown 192 KHz/24-bit, but the RX-V579BL is equipped with Burr-Brown 192 KHz/24-bit. The Bi-amping function is implemented only in the Yamaha RX-V579BL. The model RX-V579BL can transmit an audio signal directly to the amplifier and bypasses any DSP processing.

Connectivity

Wireless Internet connection via WIFI is only possible with RX-V579BL. Each of the receivers has a Bluetooth connector. The RX-V579BL has access to the Spotify service.

Video features

Oddly enough, the support for the HDR function is not implemented in these units. The quality of 4K/60Hz signal remains unchanged when transmitting from a source to a TV or projector via HDMI for both receivers. Signaling over HDMI in standby mode can provide the TX-SR343 and the RX-V579BL. None of the devices can increase the resolution of the incoming video signal. Review participants do not have the Dolby Vision feature.

Extensive connections

The number of HDMI inputs/outputs varies depending on the receiver, the TX-SR343 has 4/1, and the RX-V579BL has 6/1.Onkyo TX-SR343 connectionsYamaha RX-V579BL connections HDMI Audio Return Channel is implemented in both devices. HDMI eARC is not supported by the TX-SR343 and the RX-V579BL. When comparing receivers, it becomes clear that each of the rivals can work with HDMI CEC. TX-SR343 and RX-V579BL support the standard HDCP 2.2. Unlike most receivers, our models do not have a built-in phono stage for connecting a vinyl player. Voice control of the basic functions of the receiver is not realized in both models. There is an ECO mode in RX-V579BL. The Yamaha RX-V579BL can be properly configured using the setup assistant.

Multichannel surround

Generally no support for a Dolby Atmos multichannel audio format. A DTS:X surround technology is not supported by devices from our comparison.
