Magnetar’s UDP900MKII and UDP800MKII universal media players have earned THX certification following testing and evaluation at THX laboratories.
The certification applies to both models in Magnetar’s MKII Series, which supports physical and digital media formats, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, SACD and networked or stored media. The announcement follows the series’ Roon Ready certification earlier this year.
“THX Certification is a critical independent validation that enthusiasts and integrators look for when building reference-grade systems,” said Rob Jones, President, Magnetar North America. “We’re proud to see both MKII models earn their certification. It reflects the engineering and feedback from customers and dealers that went directly into the creation of the MKII Series, and it gives customers added confidence that these players will deliver the performance they expect, whether that is in a dedicated home theater or a living room.”
“Magnetar is a strong force in premium disc playback, and the UDP900MKII and UDP800MKII earned THX Certification after our extensive testing and evaluation in the THX labs,” added Steven P. Martz, vice president, global technology partnerships, THX Ltd. “These media players are built for those who care deeply about seeing and hearing entertainment the way creators intended, which is the founding mission of the THX Certification program. We look forward to continued work and collaboration with Magnetar in the years ahead.”
The THX Certified UDP900MKII has an MSRP of $3,399.99, while the UDP800MKII is priced at $1,899.99. Both models are available directly from Magnetar and through its authorized dealers and distributors.
