No. the 8801 will  not pass 4k.  The 8802a will which has HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0a.  On march 18th 2018 Marantz is going to provide firmware for Dolby vision Pass-through.  You should be avulse to get a 8802a for a good price new or used because the 8805 will be coming out in early spring time of 2018.

The AV8801 has HDMI 1.4 inputs/outputs and will pass some of the original 4K formats.  A lot has changed since then and the 4K formats have gone through several iterations.  You will need something that has HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 to make sure you support any of the current 4K standards.

You could try with AV8801, but there will be some 4K devices/formats that just don't work with it.
