Denon AVRS730H vs Denon AVRS530BT – that is a question.

Amplifier

The number of channels for receivers is different - 7.2 versus 5.2, respectively, for devices. In terms of power, there are differences, the AVRS730H has such a ratio W/Ohm - 75/8, 110/6, while the AVRS530BT has a power of 70/8, 90/6. A common feature for devices is the same total harmonic distortion - 0.08%.

Audio features

The manufacturer installed different DACs, the AVRS730H received the model 384 KHz/32-bit, but the AVRS530BT is equipped with 192 KHz/24-bit. None of the compared opponents supports Bi-amping. In the considered devices there is no function transmitting an audio signal directly to the amplifier and bypasses any DSP processing.

Connectivity

Wireless Internet connection via WIFI is only possible with AVRS730H. Each of the receivers has a Bluetooth connector. The AVRS730H has access to the Spotify service.

Video features

Support for the HDR function can only boast of each of the AV receivers. 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 AVRS730H and the AVRS530BT. None of the devices can increase the resolution of the incoming video signal. Operation with the Dolby Vision is only possible with the AVRS730H.

Extensive connections

The number of HDMI inputs/outputs varies depending on the receiver, the AVRS730H has 6/1, and the AVRS530BT has 5/1.Denon AVRS730H connectionsDenon AVRS530BT connections HDMI Audio Return Channel is implemented in both devices. HDMI eARC is not supported by the AVRS730H and the AVRS530BT. When comparing receivers, it becomes clear that each of the rivals can work with HDMI CEC. AVRS730H and AVRS530BT support the standard HDCP 2.2. Unlike most receivers, our models do not have a built-in phono stage for connecting a vinyl player. There is an ECO mode in either AV receiver. The Denon AVRS730H and the Denon AVRS530BT can be properly configured using the setup assistant.

Multichannel surround

A Dolby Atmos multichannel audio format is available only in the AVRS730H. Only in the AVRS730H realized a DTS:X surround technology.
