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 have recently discovered at a friend's house that many surround SACDs have more information when played back in surround than in stereo. One such disc is the excellent Up by Peter Gabriel and another is Heathen by David Bowie. It makes me want to set up a surround system myself even though I've never really cared much for it.
