What Media Players Will Play Streamed Blu Ray From Server

I'm looking for a list of media players that can play a ripped Blu Ray that is streamed from a server (Windows 7, WHS, NAS).

I don't mind having two boxes like an XBOX 360 for recorded TV and another player for DVD and BRD. What I do want is equal quality to playing a disc in a standalone player with the ability to play all audio formats. I really don't care about 3D BRD, but that would just be a bonus.

I'll start:

- XBOX 360: can only accept transcoded content, therefore quality and loss of some audio formats occur. Unfortunately, it's the only player that can playback recorded TV.

To bad there is not a SageTV HD300 like extender that will work with WMC7.

Here are some other devices that I've heard about and am still researching:

- WD Live

- Dune HD Base 3.0

- Network Blu Ray players

So, I'm looking for your advice on the above devices, as well as others that you may have experience with.

Thanks,
Greg
