Best Blu-Ray for 7.1 Analog


I am interested in the best sounding Blu-Ray player using the player's 7.1 analog outputs with the decoding done in the player.

I want to use the analog outputs in the Blu-Ray player since my McIntosh receiver has 7.1 inputs, but no HDMI.

What is the best sounding Blu-Ray player over 7.1 analog?

How do the Denon DVD-3800BDCI, Pioneer BDP-05FD, Sony BDPS5000ES, and Panasonic DMP-BD55 compare?

How will these players compare to the upcoming Pioneer BDP-09FD, Denon DVD-A1UDCI, Oppo BDP-83, and McIntosh MVP881?

I would love it if the player could still decode my Dolby EX and DTS ES DVDs in 7.1. Bass management would also be desirable.
