Mac has a house sound, and a following. If you own other MAC gear go for the MAC.
MAC stuff is built to last.
I own the Denon and would say it is a great sounding CD player. But not as good as any old transport thing playing through the newest upsampling DACs.
(I have bought a Bryston DAC, waiting on delivery to dealer)
As for Video, the Denon is EXTREMEMLY good via HDMI if used with a mild power conditioner.
