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 multi-channel audio. This design ensures extremely low noise, top-notch dynamic range 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 up to DSD512, providing a clean, transparent reproduction with an organic musicality that 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 audio experience, especially in combination with high-resolution audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X and Atmos. For the demanding listener, this means a soundstage with greater depth, clearer placement of instruments and a significantly more realistic reproduction.

Redefining USB performance and data flow

Magnetar has reimagined the USB 3.0 system from the ground up in the UDP900 MKII. 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 - without dropouts or interference.

Reference quality image

The UDP900 MKII supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, reproducing movies with intense contrast, depth and color accuracy. The internal image processing is designed to preserve the cinematic expression, while the details in both light and shadow appear with maximum clarity. Each scene is processed individually, so both modern HDR content and older material are reproduced with optimal balance and dynamics.

Construction and control

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

The UDP900 MKII supports Control4 and Crestron integration, allowing it to seamlessly integrate 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

The 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 to the listener - without loss, without compromise.

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