With a large media collection I wanted to take the heat off my aging Oppo and have the collection at my fingertips. Also important was video & audio quality. The only alternative was K..Scape which is totally cost prohibitive.
The Zidoo is complex with an enormous number of setting to tailor it to my system. This took a while as does getting my media onto its 2 14TB internal Hard Drives.(purchased separately)
I also have many concerts and good audio is Paramount.
I was somewhat skeptical of the hype, however its performance is phenomenal!! Lossless audio and video.
Adding media is tedious but worth it for sure.
I highly recommend the Zidoo 8000.
