Description

UDP800 MKII

4K UHD Reference Blu-ray Player

 
 
Every picture tells a story. The UDP800 MKII tells its story through stunning visual clarity and impeccable sound, resulting in an incredible experience as filmmakers and musicians tell theirs.
 
A cinephile's dream. Equipped with advanced HDR support, this player brings every scene to life with vivid colours, deep contrasts, and crisp details, ensuring that even the most subtle nuances are visible in breathtaking quality. Coupled with cutting-edge audiophile-grade sound technology, you'll enjoy an enveloping soundstage, from crisp highs to booming lows, for a cinematic audio experience that complements the perfect picture.
 
 
 
Next-Generation Video
The UDP800 MKII elevates its video capabilities with an upgraded processing engine designed to extract cleaner detail, more accurate colour, and improved stability from every format. The enhanced video pipeline refines the entire signal chain—from decoding through output—reducing noise, improving precision, and ensuring a more faithful reproduction of the original master.
 
The MKII’s updated processing architecture delivers cleaner scaling, smoother gradation handling, and more consistent tone mapping across HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision sources. The video path benefits from improved signal isolation within the PCB stack, minimizing interference and preserving the integrity of the encoded image.
 
The UDP upscaling engine is without peer. Enhanced upscaling sharpens Blu-ray, DVD, and file based 1080p or lower sources, revealing more detail missed by other players. The AI engine insures every upscaled frame is rendered with impeccable precision, preserving the integrity of the original content. It handles diverse formats with ease, eliminating any visual artifacts, blurring, or pixelation. Colours are true to life, blacks are deep, and the image remains crisp and clear, even during fast-motion scenes. 
 
More depth. More stability. More accurate. MKII is just more of everything that matters. Whether it be 480P, 4K UHD, MKV, MOV, MP4, or most anything else, the UDP 800 MKII delivers every frame, every nuance, every sound, every note. 
 
Studio-Quality Audio
The UDP800 MKII preserves the bit-perfect pure-audio foundation of the original model while refining every stage of the signal path for lower noise, tighter accuracy, and greater transparency. Its enhanced multi-layer PCB layout improves isolation between analog, digital, and power domains, reducing interference and preserving the integrity of the decoded signal.
 
With each channel independently wired, two independent Burr-Brown PCM 1795 DAC processors handle the two-channel D/A conversion with improved support circuitry and upgraded analog-stage components. The MKII’s refined output stage features 7 next-generation, low-distortion 1602 op-amps selected for smoother harmonic structure, increased detail retrieval, and a more effortless sense of space.
 
Both stereo XLR balanced outputs and stereo RCA gold-plated unbalanced outputs offer versatile connectivity. They have been further shielded and enhanced, feeding downstream amplifiers with increased stability, reduced noise, and greater dynamic headroom. The result is reference-grade bit-perfect playback — wider soundstage, clearer micro-detail, lower background noise, and a more lifelike sense of presence.
 
Format Without Limits
The UDP800 MKII maintains Magnetar’s commitment to broad media compatibility, delivering seamless playback across virtually every major disc and file format. From 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray to multi-region standard Blu-ray, DVD, and CD, the MKII reads your entire physical library with precision and stability. Its enhanced processing chain ensures reliable handling of high-resolution audio formats, including SACD, DSD, FLAC, WAV, and PCM.
 
Network and USB 3.0 playback provide additional flexibility for stored media and personal collections, supporting hard drives up to 16TB. The UDP800 can effortlessly access video, music, and image files through DLNA, SMB, and NFS protocols, with support for a broad array of media formats such as MKV, AVI, MP4, WAV, FLAC, APE, DSD, and more. This enables easy playback and management of media from Disc, USB, and LAN storage devices.
 
Whether it’s legacy discs, modern UHD titles, or high-resolution audio files, the MKII is engineered to recognize, decode, and deliver them with uncompromised accuracy. Your library, old or new, plays exactly as it should.
 
 
World Class Design
The Magnetar engineering team understands that to achieve exceptional audio and video performance requires high quality chassis construction and stability. UDP800 MKII adopts a solid high-rigidity metal body and a reinforced double layer chassis structure. The internal main components are independently shielded by metal casing, greatly reducing vibration, noise and external magnetic field interference, bringing pure and high-resolution audio and video quality.
 
The UDP800 MKII introduces a completely redesigned audio platform, engineered for lower noise, cleaner power delivery, and higher overall fidelity. The new architecture features premium OPA1602 op-amps, improved analog-stage layout, and tighter signal routing for greater clarity and resolution.
 
While the occasional disc misread or skip can be a rare and unfortunate nature of the beast with Blu-ray, mechanical performance of the player has been elevated with a reworked disc drive and enhanced noise-suppression system, reducing vibration and mechanical chatter for quieter, more accurate playback—even with challenging or aging discs.
 
Connectivity and internal reliability have been strengthened with an upgraded USB subsystem for cleaner external-media playback, along with JST and Amphenol connectors throughout the signal path for improved precision, stability, and long-term durability. A refined chassis structure and optimized grounding complete the MKII platform, delivering a cleaner, quieter, and more stable foundation that elevates performance across both audio and video output.
 
People Keep Talking
Celebrated by reviewers, enthusiasts, and home-cinema professionals worldwide, Magnetar players continue to earn top-tier recognition for engineering excellence, build quality, and reference-level playback. The MKII series carries that legacy forward with upgraded architecture, enhanced stability, and class-leading audio and video refinement—earning its place among the most respected high-end disc players in the world.
