Apparently crack (and or crank) is the drug of choice for VP and Product Managers at companies around world. Kaleidescape has build an upscale player based on the Sigma Designs' Gennum VXP video processor chip and claims the player is one of the best in the world beating out Blu-Ray. Sigma is an awesome company. I will be building a product based on their decoder chip but for Kaleidescape to claim the quality exceeds Blu is down right Bullshit. You CANNOT create image quality that is NOT present in the first place, mmm kay? Upscaling is "line doubling" and line doubling sucks when compared to Native HD content such as content found on Blu-Ray discs. And at 700 bones, they are completely and totally under the control of the Master (listen to Metallica Master of Puppets of this eludes you). Yes, I am sure the upscale is good but I am still of fan of the real deal and NOT pretenders...
