Kaleidescape Cinema One Blu-ray Player/Server

Darryl Wilkinson has posted a review of the Kaleidescape Cinema One Blu-ray player/server ($3995) at Sound and Vision. His conclusions:

“There is so much to love about Kaleidescape’s Cinema One that it should get my whole-hearted, sell-your-firstborn recommendation—but I have to stop just short of that, solely because having to insert a previously imported BD in order to watch it is infuriating. If the vast majority of your movie collection is on DVDs, you’ll have a great time with the Cinema One. With a large collection of Blu-rays, you’re going to feel cheated each time you feed a BD into the machine—unless you add a DV700 (pricey) or go the more affordable route of upgrading your BDs to HD downloads for $1.99 per disc. That takes it from a great experience to the true Kaleidescape Experience. And it’s an Experience you’ll never forget.”
