Magnetar UDP800 | Yes, Hi-End bluray players are still here!

This is my thoughts on the Magnetar UDP800 | Need something to replace your Oppo or want something as good as the Oppo? Maybe consider this machine.
*UI = stands for User Interface
Pros:
• Great 2 channel audio
• SACD, DVD Audio compatible, sound for cd sacd were very decent.
• Region free
• Great picture and sound!
Cons:
No WiFi
Not streaming Apps (but that's fine with me)
This player is purely a Hi End machine to give you good quality sound and picture. Mainly physical media player.

Totally agree. We purchased this for playing our physical media…specifically for playing hi resolution audio using Blu ray pure audio; DVD Pure Audio; and SACD’s. Spatial Audio with these media types using the Auro 3D auromatic algorithm in a 7.2.6 system is fantastic. Only complaint is that it will not power up automatically or have any triggers to allow it to power up automatically. When you turn your system on , you have to manually power it up using the remote or the power button. Thanks for posting.

This unit majors on audio - that’s where your money goes…like a high end Denon SACD player.

It’s very misleading to say “no WiFi.” It certainly does connect to the internet - it just doesn’t have the streaming aps

Hi. Yes, agree it connects to the internet however via ethernet (physical connection) not wifi (via wireless connection)

[@kellywilliamson2187]

@@concordhifi I did not realize that until I took it out of the box and set it up!

All good, enjoy watching movies on that BluRay player. It’s a nice piece of hardware
