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

I must say the new Marantz bd8002 looks amazing on paper. If it keeps moving marantz in the direction they have been heading lately, they are going to be putting out killer products. Keep in mind, the marantz bd8002 looks to be a good transport, decodes dolby digital plus, dts HD formats for those with no HDMI 1.3 inputs(such as my anthem avm30. This may be the player most have been looking for. I dont think it has sacd or dvd audio but Im not to concerned about that since that format has ended production. I like my PS3, but the hdmi 1.3 does me no good with the HD audio formats. The Blu Ray video is amazing. If video does get any better with blu ray, I definately dont think I need it.
