If you want audiophile from a Denon receiver, go with the models with the second digit '8' as they are geared to audiophile tastes.
I have a Denon 4806 I like pretty much, Used with a Furman powerfactor conditioner the sound is very good.
As for marntz, I have not auditioned one, but audio oriented stores say they are good too.
