Seller's Description

Super clean MAGNETAR UDP800 MKII 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player up for grabs in perfect working condition. The player itself looks new and still has the plastic cover on the display. The remote has a tiny scuff as shown in the photos but is very clean as well overall. Packing will be top notch.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This one reads ambitious: at US$1,400, it sits well above the US$1,220 75th percentile of recent comparables, so it’s not priced like a bargain. Against a US$1,040 median and US$860 25th percentile, you’re paying a meaningful premium for the ask.

That premium only makes sense if the unit is exceptionally clean, lightly used, and complete with original accessories, because the UDP800 is a serious universal disc player with strong transport quality and broad format support. For a buyer who values a dependable all-in-one spinner and wants to avoid hunting, a tidy example can still be worth a look, but at this level I’d want proof of condition, accessories, and any service history before committing.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Magnetar

Magnetar is a fairly new, niche audio-video brand that emerged in the early 2020s to serve buyers who still want premium physical-media playback. It appears to be based in Hong Kong, with Magnetar Audio North America handling the U.S. market; the brand’s public-facing leadership includes Rob Jones, who oversees North American operations. Magnetar was created after Oppo exited the universal disc-player market, aiming to fill that gap for serious home-theater users and audiophiles.

The brand is best known for universal media players rather than traditional hi-fi separates. Its core products are the UDP800 and UDP900, along with newer MKII updates, and these machines are designed to play a wide range of formats including 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD, SACD, DVD-A, and networked or stored audio/video files. Magnetar emphasizes high-end video processing, robust build quality, and audiophile-grade audio performance, with support for formats such as Dolby Vision, HDR10+, DSD, FLAC, PCM, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X.

In the market, Magnetar sits firmly in the high-end, specialist category. It is not a broad consumer brand; instead, it targets cinephiles, audiophiles, custom-install dealers, and collectors with large disc libraries. Its reputation rests on premium construction, broad format support, and long-term commitment to physical media at a time when many competitors have left the category.
