It’s been feeling like the end of the physical media era for a little while now, what with Best Buy taking discs off its shelves and manufacturers stopping production of Blu-ray disc players. The move to streaming-only content is somewhat understandable, at least from the view that those discs take up a lot of space. But there are significant issues with relying solely on streaming content, especially for videophiles, as the visual and audio quality of streaming doesn’t match what you get from a disc. That’s where a movie player from Kaleidescape comes in.

The company has been making movie players and servers for years that allow you to store content with reference quality video and lossless audio on a local device. The new Strato M is a 1080p movie player — we’ll get to that — that supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, BT.2020, and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. It has a 480GB internal solid state hard drive capable of storing up to six high-bitrate movies downloaded from the Kaleidescape store. In addition, the Strato M supports lossless spatial audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Kaleidescape suggests the Strato M for someone either using a 2K TV or projector, or sitting more than 1.5 times the screen diagonal away from their display. The idea being that if you’re that far from a 1080p image, your eyes can see the difference between 1080p and 4K, as Kaleidescape posts about on the Strato M product info page.
