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.

Apple Tvx, I read the marketing material and it’s very deficient as to what is done to the Apple TV box.

It’s great you add a linear power supply and Great cabling to connect it but it’s very confusing what the heck you do with Apple TV box?

Further it doesn’t address the sound. That’s what’s important here. Yeah I can connect my Apple TV box with great power cords, HDMI, and etherNet and a good sound system but what are you guys bring to the equation???

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.

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