$8000 to hold approximately 100 UHD movies* is a curious value proposition**. That’s a per-movie storage cost of $80 on top of a $30 new-release purchase price, for an effective $110 per-movie price. If it uses a cloud storage approach where unlimited movies can be owned online and the system...

I’m failing to communicate clearly if that’s your takeaway of my comments. What I’m trying to say is: Yes, for someone with $10,000 to spend on a movie player, they will (and should) buy Kaleidascape. I, personally, don’t know any of those people. For a someone who wants the benefits and power...

What's the step-down model? Is that the $10,000 18TB server posted earlier? That can be accomplished with modest effort -- much less than $10,000 in personal time. I can explain in more detail in the HTPC forum if you really want this to happen. Or text me and we can talk offline. :)

I’ve said it before, so forgive me for saying it again: If you’re seriously desiring a Kaleidascape experience, but don’t want to spend $10,000+ and/or be locked into their proprietary media solution… 1) Build an HTPC. About $2000 versus $16,000 for a multi-room system. More time investment...

Is there any reason to think that will happen? They’ve been around 20 years. And still soley sold through custom installers. Did they say in the interview that they’re actively planning and making efforts to move down market to retail customers?

I’m super missing something in why you guys are promoting so heavily a $10,000 box that only plays $30 proprietary digital formats, and requires a $3000 client for each additional room. If Kscape was a third the price and had AppleTV and Roku apps for client devices, I’d better understand...

Huh. I just stumbled across this. Might be of interest to someone wanting K-scape like features but not wanting to give up their discs. I'm intrigued, but I'm set with my HTPC and don't want to start anew the ripping process. https://www.zappiti.us.com/nas-serie

I suppose not.

I'm fascinated by the luxury yacht market they discovered and is clearly an important customer base, since their website has an entire section devoted to it. If their library is about 18,000 titles...for about $500k, your super-yacht can go to sea with bascially the entire film library...

I can imagine a slightly alternate timeline where I would be a Kaleidascape owner as a midlife crisis upgrade. :) But for reasons unrelated to their product or pricing, I’m not really suited to it, to my frustration. The old disc vault system, I never liked. This newer all-digital, 4K...

I’m a bit confused: Brett commented on Kaleidascape having TV and Concerts. But the website leads me to understand the service solely does movies. Does anyone have more insight, or does K-scape show its library somewhere to prospective customers?

And we're listening...
