*WAS JUST INFORMED THAT ISO FILE PLAYBACK AND MULTIREGION SUPPORT IS AN OPTIONAL $99 FEATURE*

Great to see companies still releasing disc players. The future of physical media still strong!

[jarodreddig]

Glad to see a new universal disc player on the market.

[tonyrobles]

Wow this is awesome! Never heard of this brand. Thanks for taking the time to do this for the community Shane! Much appreciated! 👍

[DarkLordDeimos]

Great review. Very thorough and clear.
One thought for the future though. You should pick up at least one SACD and one DVD-Audio just to be able to prove that this player (or other devices tested in the future) function as advertised.

MAGNETAR North America is offically established!🎉🎉🎉

[allisonmendez]

Beautifully done review I just love how you showing similar products to whatever you reviewing now and comparing them at onces it's just picking one from the other much easier than before keep up the good work

I've been so happy with my Panasonic ub9000 I don't see upgrading for a very long time.

I ended up buying a Magnetar UDP800 based on this review

[MrNorcal]

I have a Panny UB9000 and my trusty old Oppo-203. The UB9000 is a terrific disc spinner but has some real shortcomings when it comes to playing various combinations of video files (can't play back E-AC3 or lossless audio encodes for example) while the Oppo-203 is still a solid disc UHD disc player that can handle almost any combination of video/audio encoded files that you can throw at. It also has a very good zoom function which is active on any discs or files, something that the Magnetar doesn't appear to have. $1600 plus an additional $99 for ISO playback seems awfully steep. I was lucky enough to get the Oppo at its $500 price before the company pulled the plug on making disc players. While, over the past few years, it had some HDMI handshake issues when passing Dolby Vision discs to Denon AVRs (X3700 and a test with a friend's X4700) and my LG OLED C7 TV, much of that has improved with the latest generation of Denons, in my case the X3800. The HDMI handshaking when playing DV is now more consistent with far fewer signal drops.

Seems like a very solid player. Nice review Shane

[donmorton]

Love your reviews buddy. Always thorough and explains everything about the product.

[RKlein]

Thanks Shane for this vers interesting test and as well for you voice débit, making the video clear without subs for the French that I am 🙂

[laspaceboy]

Thank you for the thorough review, Shane. Looks like a great product but I’m sure a lot of folks will be wary of an uncommon brand. Still loving my Panasonic UB820. 🧑🏼‍🚀

[GameSack]

In future reviews if you can, open these bad boys up so we can see what's inside. I always get very skeptical when something is heavy, and I've seen products where there's just a big metal weight inside and the heaviness doesn't come from super-industrial components or whatever it is they want a person to think when they handle a heavy disc player. I personally don't think a player *needs* to be heavy unless you're trying to watch a disc rolling down the road in an RV or something.

[Gimmesoup]

Thanks for the video! Great info about the Magnetar.

[AllboroLCD]

what made oppos great was the 7.1 analog output paired with an HDMI input letting the unit double as a full surround pre/pro.

[MichaelGreco]

Looks like an awesome player. But my ub820 is looking like a bargain at this point. I run a Parasound Halo integrated powering my LR in HT bypass mode for movies and just the Halo for 2 channel. It has a balanced input so this unit would be cool to plug into that for cds.

THANKS SHANE, HERE TO SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL 🤗👍😎💚💚💚

[icanbelievemyeyez]

Wow!! Really does look like an Oppo bd 203…
Would love a direct showdown!☝️🤓🎈
