Both amplifiers and both views share one scale, so everything here is directly comparable. Hover a box for its dimensions.

One scale for both, aligned at the back panels the way they would sit against a wall, so the deeper one visibly stands further out.

JBL MA710 needs about 12% more shelf area. JBL MA710 is 43mm deeper - the measurement that decides whether a rack door closes. Denon AVR-S570BT is 43mm taller.

Inputs and Outputs

Verdict

Different price classes - JBL MA710 costs roughly 2x what Denon AVR-S570BT does. Expect it to lead on paper; the question is whether you will hear the difference through the speakers you own.

AreaBetterWhy
PowerBJBL MA710 has more power - 110W against 70W into 8 ohms. That is about 2dB, so it plays usefully louder before it runs out and has more in hand on peaks.
Speaker load ratingBJBL MA710 is rated down to 4 ohms against 6, so it is the safer partner for a low-impedance speaker.
Analogue inputsevenly matchedThe same number of line-level inputs (2).
Phono stagedependsJBL MA710 has a built-in phono stage and Denon AVR-S570BT does not. Decisive if you own a turntable, completely irrelevant if you do not - and an outboard phono stage is easy to add later either way.
Room to growevenly matchedThe same expansion options on both.
Built-in sourcesdependsDenon AVR-S570BT has a radio tuner built in. That is one less box if you still play discs or listen to radio, and dead weight if you do not.
Amplifier classdependsDenon AVR-S570BT is AB and JBL MA710 is D. Class A/B runs warm and is the long-established mainstream choice; Class D runs cool and draws almost nothing at idle. Modern examples of both measure well - judge by the rest of the page.
PriceADenon AVR-S570BT costs less - $449 against $880 at list.

A Denon AVR-S570BT  B JBL MA710
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both amplifiers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.

Which should you choose?

The usual trade-off: JBL MA710 measures better, Denon AVR-S570BT costs about 49% less. With most speakers in most rooms that gap is smaller in practice than it looks here. If you play records, JBL MA710 saves you buying a phono stage; if you do not, ignore that row entirely. Think about the whole system: the roughly $431 saved by taking the cheaper one would buy better speakers or a subwoofer, which does more for the sound than the difference between two competent amplifiers.

What a spec sheet cannot show: how either sounds with your speakers, how the controls feel day to day, and what the app is like to live with - which is where most all-in-one amplifiers are actually won or lost. Power figures are the manufacturers' own and are not measured to a common standard, so treat small differences as noise. If you can hear both, that will tell you more than any row above.
