World-class sound

At the heart of the UDP900 MKII are two ESS9038PRO digital-to-analog converters operating in a fully symmetrical circuit – one dedicated to the stereo output and one to multichannel audio. This design ensures an extremely low noise floor, a dynamic range of the highest class, and a natural tonal balance that reproduces even the finest details in the music.

The new XMOS USB audio system handles PCM signals up to 768 kHz and DSD files all the way up to DSD512, providing clean, transparent reproduction with an organic musicality that only a few digital players can deliver.

TMDS retiming and digital perfection

The upgraded HDMI Audio port with TMDS retiming eliminates random jitter and improves timing accuracy in signal processing. The result is a more stable and harmonious sound experience, especially in combination with high-resolution audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and Atmos. For the discerning listener, this means a soundstage with greater depth, clearer placement of instruments, and significantly more realistic reproduction.

Redefined USB performance and data flow

In the UDP900 MKII, Magnetar has rethought the USB 3.0 system from the ground up. A new HUB chip and isolated power supply increase compatibility with external drives, improve transfer speed and stability, and reduce electrical noise in the signal path. This means more reliable playback of both large 4K HDR movies and heavy DSD files – completely without dropouts or interference.

Reference-quality picture

UDP900 MKII supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision and reproduces films with intense contrast, depth, and color accuracy. The internal video processing is developed with a focus on preserving the cinematic expression, while ensuring that details in both highlights and shadows appear with maximum clarity. Each scene is processed individually so that both modern HDR content and older material are reproduced with optimal balance and dynamics.

Construction and control

The internal design is based on copper-core wiring and PCB connectors from Amphenol and JST, ensuring stable signal transmission and long-term reliable operation. The power supply is isolated to minimize interference, and the chassis is made of robust aluminum with a clean, professional look.

UDP900 MKII supports Control4 and Crestron integration, allowing it to be seamlessly incorporated into smart home theaters and automated installation systems. With Wake-on-LAN, the player can be activated via the network, making it ideal for built-in rack solutions.

The uncompromising player

Magnetar UDP900 MKII is not just a player – it is a tool for those who want to experience film and music in their purest form. It combines technological precision with emotional communication, bringing the artist’s intention all the way to the listener – without loss, without compromise.

For the dedicated enthusiast, UDP900 MKII is an investment in true reference performance – built to impress today and for many years to come.
