Angeboten wird „UDP 900“ von Magnetar Audio als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Blu-Ray Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9652052535 endet am 14.07.2026 um 14:56 Uhr.
This €2,190 asking price is a fair deal, sitting just below the €2,234 median of five recent EUR listings and well within the typical used range for the Magnetar UDP900. It is not a bargain (which would be near or below the €596 25th percentile), but it is solidly priced for a 2023-generation universal player that has no direct cheaper successor yet.
The UDP900 is highly regarded for its massive all-aluminum chassis, dual ESS9038PRO DACs, and rare ability to play SACDs and DVD-As alongside 4K UHD Blu-rays with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Its separate stereo and multichannel DAC sections, balanced XLR outputs, and USB-B PC input make it a standout as both a disc player and standalone DAC. At this price, it offers genuine upside for enthusiasts who value format versatility and audiophile-grade output without the premium of brand-new stock.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
