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.

According to Gtt Audio (Bill Parish ) , Apple TVX would be superior to Kaleidoscape.

And much cheaper .

No , I have not bought one yet. I will wait , for more reviews.

By the way , I have been told by a Home Theater specialist that Apple TV is much better , on sound basis that NVidia Pro.

@jumia 

Why don’t you contact Bill Parish ( Gtt Audio ) and ask him anything about Apple TVX.  He is the distributer/dealer..

My HT processor : Acurus AC4-20 . And I use , all the 20 channels : 9.5.6

For music : 2 channels  with my Vinnie Rossi Brama Integrated .     
This integrated has a Home Theater Bypass , which is used also for my Home Theater systeme.

With  the Acurus ACT4-20  the wide speakers ,  reproduce the surround speakers.     
Until , maybe a future firmware updates.  Same thing for the extra 4 subwoofers.
 

I am more 2 channels music  oriented than video .   
But I enjoy watching video  music shows  . The ACT4-20 sounds very good . Moreover , since I have their ASPEQT  kit  for speaker/room  calibration.

 

@jumia 

I am not much  technical .  
The CAD 1.1  ground box is connected to the Lumin X1  and the Brama Integrated The sound has a better defenition . It has a better musicality . 
 

You may also ask @hifihandyman  .  
we bought our CAD 1.1  togheter. 
And he knows better than me how to express sonic  impression and playback.

I hope , it helps
