In-depth insights: Performance and benefits in detail

Unrivalled audiophile sound reproduction

At the heart of the UDP900 MKII beats a dual ESS9038PRO DAC pair. This chip architecture enables first-class digital-to-analogue conversion for both stereo (with a signal-to-noise ratio of over 130 dB at the XLR output) and the 7.1-channel output. The USB audio input has been upgraded to support PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512 (powered by XMOS), which massively increases the processing capacity for high-resolution music files and ensures extremely detailed audio output. All internal cabling has been upgraded with high-quality copper cables and industry-standard connectors (JST/Amphenol), taking the stability of data transmission to a new level. At the HDMI audio port, the TMDS retiming function ensures effective jitter compensation, which noticeably improves the quality of the digital audio signal – particularly when transmitting to high-end AV receivers. Furthermore, with a 7.1 analogue output and balanced XLR output, the player offers the flexibility to support any conceivable audio setup without compromise.

Intelligent system control for professionals

With built-in support for the leading control systems Control 4 and Crestron, as well as the Wake-on-LAN function, the Reference Player can be effortlessly integrated into complex home automation and installation scenarios.
