Magnetar UDP800 MKII – Universal reference player for true audio and video enthusiasts

Magnetar UDP800 MKII marks the next step in the evolution of the high-end player. It builds on the critically acclaimed UDP800, but has been comprehensively upgraded with new audio technology, improved signal processing, and an even more robust internal architecture. The result is a player that combines groundbreaking digital engineering with an analog musicality that only true high-end products can deliver.

Equipped with advanced video and audio processing, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support, as well as SACD and Blu-ray playback, the UDP800 MKII is created for enthusiasts who want both precision and musicality – in one and the same chassis.

• HDR10+ video processing and full Dolby Atmos support
• High-resolution SACD playback
• Compatible with Control4 and Crestron system integration

Audio in absolute reference quality

The UDP800 MKII’s new audio board has been developed with a focus on signal purity and precision. The seven OPA1602 operational amplifiers ensure extremely low noise, minimal distortion, and accurate reproduction of even the smallest details in the recording. This creates a soundstage with more depth, clarity, and natural warmth – perfect for both music and movie sound.

The internal copper wiring and upgraded connectors from Amphenol and JST increase electrical stability and minimize resistance in the signal path. The result is sound reproduction that feels more organic and engaging, whether you are playing SACD, Blu-ray Audio, or streaming via Roon.

TMDS retiming and digital perfection

One of the most important new features in the MKII version is the implementation of TMDS retiming on the HDMI Audio port. This technology corrects random jitter and significantly improves data integrity. This means more precise timing and lower digital noise levels, which can be heard especially in complex soundtracks and high-end setups, where even small improvements make a big difference.

Enhanced USB 3.0 and uncompromising data flow

Magnetar has redesigned the entire USB 3.0 architecture. A new HUB chip and isolated power supply improve compatibility with external hard drives and USB drives, while making data transfer faster and more stable. This ensures smooth playback of even demanding 4K HDR or DSD files without dropouts, delays, or loss of quality.

Superior video processing

UDP800 MKII supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision and reproduces the image with precision, deep contrast, and vivid colors. Magnetar’s own video engine works in real time to adjust tone curves and color saturation, so every image appears with maximum dynamic range and detail richness – regardless of the source material.

This makes the MKII equally well suited to the movie lover who wants reference quality in the home theater and to those who use it as a video source in high-end installation systems.

Created for integration and control

UDP800 MKII is built to be part of modern smart home systems and supports both Control4 and Crestron. This provides easy integration with existing automation solutions, while Roon Ready certification (pending approval) makes it possible to use Magnetar as the central player in a network-based music system.

The solid aluminum construction, large LED display, and precise power supply reflect the same focus on durability and stability that characterizes Magnetar’s products.

The new standard in universal players

Magnetar UDP800 MKII is developed for audio and video enthusiasts who demand the ultimate combination of technical perfection and musical soul. It delivers sound that is both analytical and lively, and an image that is sharp and cinematic – all from a machine built to last.

This is not just a player. It is the heart of a modern reference setup, where every detail counts.
