Product Description
The Magnetar UDP800 MKII elevates its video capabilities with an upgraded processing engine designed to extract cleaner detail, more accurate color, 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.
Enhanced upscaling sharpens Blu-ray, DVD, and file based 1080p or lower sources, revealing more detail missed by other players.
More depth. More stability. More accurate color. MKII is just more of everything that matters.
Elevated for the MKII
The UDP800 MKII preserves the 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.
A single high-performance DAC handles two-channel 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.
Balanced XLR and gold-plated RCA outputs 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.
Every Format, Every Story.
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 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—while network and USB playback provide additional flexibility for stored media and personal collections.
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.
Superior Power Management and Build
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.
Mechanical performance 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.
