Two Universal Players out there. One is going for $1500 U.S., the other for 3K. I watched the YouTube review of the UDP 900 and the settings menu looks identical to the settings menu for my Oppo 105 and 203.
IMO the Oppo 205 is still the king. The Magnetar 900 does not have as many digital inputs as the 205 and the dac chip for the surround domain is a lower quality one than in the 205. Very similar players other than that.
Yes that is correct, they both use Sabre dac chips but the Magnetar uses a lesser version for the surround output. Also one review I read on the Magnetar was that the volume level does not show up on the units display, only if headphones are plugged in or if the tv is on then the volume level would show on the tv screen. I use my Oppo 205 as a dac preamp and the volume display is a must for me.
