Does the UDP800 MkII play SACDs?

Yes. It is a universal player, so it handles SACD, CD, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray discs.

Can it stream from Netflix or other apps?

No. It is a disc and file player, not a streaming box, so you need a separate device for apps.

What can I plug into the USB port?

The USB 3.0 input has isolated power and a hub chip, so it works with flash drives and hard drives holding music and video files.

Roon Ready certification was in progress at launch. Check the current firmware status before relying on it as a Roon endpoint.

Does it work with home automation systems?

Yes. It supports Control4 and Crestron, which suits custom-installed theaters.

It measures 430 mm wide, 300 mm deep and 90 mm tall and weighs 6.8 kg, so plan rack or shelf space accordingly.
