A quick glance at the specs for this thing tells us that the Kalua is truly a home entertainment device on steroids. This thing can handle DVD's, MP3's, audio CD's and even VCD's and can read from every type of CD medium out there-pressed CD's, CD-R's and even CD-RW's! Plus, with support for Dolby Digital surround sound and DTS digital surround, the Kalua can handle any type of DVD you throw at it. At $149 an estimated street price of $149, the Kalua is actually in the same ballpark as most other DVD-only players and can truly be the only disc player that you'll ever need!
