(September 27, 2025) Magnetar is back in the spotlight, continuing its rise as one of the most respected names in universal disc players. At CEDIA 2025, we explored the company’s latest lineup, including the flagship UDP900MKII and the highly capable UDP800MKII with Magnetar's President, Rob Jones.
These products appear to be destined to become must-have models for serious physical media enthusiasts.
For years, collectors and cinephiles have been clamoring for reliable, reference-quality universal disc players as options in the high-end market dwindled. Magnetar has stepped into that void with hardware that doesn’t just keep pace, but arguably sets a new benchmark for Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, SACD, and DVD-Audio playback. The UDP900MKII, positioned as the company’s flagship, showcases reference-grade DACs, a reinforced chassis design, and meticulous analog audio engineering designed for two-channel and multichannel performance. Its sibling, the UDP800, delivers much of the same playback precision in a more accessible package, while still supporting Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Hi-Res Audio, and robust build quality.
What makes these players stand out is not only their ability to spin virtually any disc format but also their attention to details that matter most: quiet operation, long-term reliability, and a commitment to audiophile-grade components.
