I highly recommend Zidoo, you need to rip your own movies and then its great!
Streaming alternatives to pricey kaleidoscope?
I've looked at the kaleidoscope system and found it compelling but also it's inconvenient and very pricey, regardless of your income level the pricing is very annoying.
Netflix, HBO, Amazon Apple, and the other lesser streaming services offer good sound along with the video but they have limited the ability to improve the sound Quality which is very sad.
Is there any service out there that is aspiring toward what kaleidoscope has done? Where is surprising and disappointing is that sound quality is so poor these days for the streaming services. It's a modern day tragedy in my opinion.

That’s great, I am a fan of atmos music and the weakest link is you have to use HDMI out to my processor instead of my DAC. It sounds good but I realized there is only so much you can squeeze from HDMI no matter how much you spend on a HDMI cable. I was trying to find a workaround by upgrading ethernet cables too which helped a little, but fell short of what the SQ is vs USB in on my DAC. I am looking forward to getting an ATVX unit soon. @donavabdear , I know you are doing an upgrade, you might want to check this out as an upgrade to the source inpacts everything downstream. |
@xymox , it is like audio alchemy, you found the ATV "philosophers stone" and now you are looking at the chain for applications, very interesting stuff. We have another member who is a professional, @cohsystms and he has developed proprietary tech that might be synergistic. I know he already has an ethernet switch, let’s see if he chimes in on this thread. His company is add-powr. His previous company, QRT, was acquired by nordost. |
