About the UDP-1

The McCormack Audio UDP-1 Universal Disc Player delivers audiophile-quality playback from multiple disc formats including CDs, SACDs (stereo and multi-channel), DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, CD-R/RW, DVD-R, and MP3 files. It employs advanced Burr-Brown 24-bit/192kHz DACs capable of handling both linear PCM up to 192kHz and DSD data, ensuring high-resolution audio extraction. The player offers both stereo (2-channel) and 5.1 multi-channel analog RCA outputs, alongside coaxial and optical digital outputs limited to 44.1kHz. Video capabilities include component, S-Video, and composite outputs with a 54MHz/10-bit video DAC. Designed for seamless integration with systems like the McCormack MAP-1 preamplifier, it provides warm, detailed sound with excellent midrange and low-end performance. A Deluxe version exists with upgraded components like CJD polystyrene capacitors and Vishay resistors, but this covers the standard model. No longer in production, it was originally priced at $3,495 and praised in reviews for value and musicality.
