Head-to-head

Denon AVR-S570BT vs Denon AVR-S670H: S670H adds source count and phono but loses a fourth 4K120 input

The short answer

Choose the S570BT for a five-speaker system with four fast HDMI sources and simple Bluetooth playback. Choose the S670H when six source connections, HEOS or a direct MM turntable connection matter more than a fourth 4K120 input.

Before you choose

The reasoning and the trade-offs

More sockets can mean fewer fast sockets

A four-console 4K120 setup favors the S570BT, while a six-device mixed-video rack favors the S670H.

What this is based on

The S570BT has four total and four fast inputs. The S670H has six total and three fast inputs.

Main trade-off

Denon AVR-S570BT

Only four HDMI sources can remain directly connected.

Main trade-off

Denon AVR-S670H

Only three inputs accept 4K120.

What matters in practice

The differences that matter

More sockets can mean fewer fast sockets

A four-console 4K120 setup favors the S570BT, while a six-device mixed-video rack favors the S670H.

How we reached this conclusion

The S570BT has four total and four fast inputs. The S670H has six total and three fast inputs.

Network music can free an HDMI socket

With music supplied through HEOS, the S670H does not need a separate HDMI music streamer for that job.

How we reached this conclusion

The S670H includes network streaming and the S570BT relies on Bluetooth or connected sources.

Neither purchase reserves an Atmos upgrade

Two added height speakers would require replacing either receiver.

How we reached this conclusion

Both have five amplified and five processed main channels, with a documented 5.1 layout.

A powered subwoofer is separate from the speaker-channel count. This checks one main room. Zone 2, bi-amping and unusual speaker assignments need another manual check. Allow ventilation space and confirm HDMI settings, cables and speaker impedance before installing.

What you give up

Every choice has a cost

If you choose Denon AVR-S570BT

  • No HEOS or dedicated MM phono input.

If you choose Denon AVR-S670H

  • No extra amplifier channels for height speakers.

Recommendation switch

The decision flips if...

Four 4K120 sources need receiver inputs

Choose Denon AVR-S570BT. Its four HDMI inputs all support the documented 4K120 path.

Five or six HDMI devices should stay connected

Choose Denon AVR-S670H. Its six HDMI inputs accommodate two more connected sources.

Four physical height speakers are part of the plan

Choose neither. The documented processing or internal-amplifier layouts do not cover this requirement. Choose a receiver with the required physical configuration.

What matters in practice

How to make the call

01

Write down the source list

Four HDMI sockets are enough for a console pair, a disc player and a streamer. That list changes if a computer and set-top box also stay connected. The S670H accommodates six physical sources, but only three belong on its 4K120 inputs. A high-frame-rate source inventory can therefore reverse the usual assumption that the more connected receiver is the better gaming fit.

02

Follow the music signal

The S670H is useful when records or network music are everyday sources. Its MM input accepts a compatible phono-level turntable, while HEOS supplies supported music services over the network. The S570BT works with a turntable that already has a line output or an added phono stage, so the absent socket is an extra-equipment question rather than a ban on vinyl.

03

Keep the speaker plan honest

Both are sensible five-speaker receivers when the room will stay that way. Neither offers physical height channels. If adding ceiling speakers is already on the shopping list, a seven-channel model changes the wiring plan in a way that HEOS or a higher power figure cannot. Powered subwoofer jacks do not create spare full-range amplifier channels.

Check these before buying

  • Count 4K120 sources separately from total HDMI sources.
  • Confirm whether the turntable outputs phono level or line level.

What this comparison cannot tell you

  • No listening test or measured output-power comparison is claimed.
