Blue-ray player with good 2ch sound?


Now that hd dvd is dead I am thinking of picking up a blue ray player.

Of course I want great video quality, but in my set up I also need great analog 2ch sound. Anyone have advice on new blue-ray player that outputs a quality analog audio downmix from movies?

Don't care about cd playback but would like quality Standard dvd play.

I suppose another option is to just add a nice 2ch dac and output downmix digital.

Thanks

It's supposed to be one of the best and fastest loading. It has had many updates since introduced and now can be supplied with a larger hard drive. I don't have one myself so am not an expert, just a casual observer.
.I just got the new Oppo 981,and while it wont do Blue Ray, it is outstanding with DVD. Also plays SACd, HDCD,and pretty much anything but BR. Steal for the $. Oppodigital.com
I don't think that anyone is doing it yet. Watch Pioneer and Oppo. I bet that they put together new "universal" units, including Blueray in the next several months.

Panasonic's new Blu Ray player comes out in the next 30 days, either that or the current model will do the trick. I have the same objectives as you and am trying to figure out if I add a dedicated CD player or a DAC when I do get the Blu Ray machine.
