First check if the Blu-Ray player has an option to output digital PCM. If it only outputs Dolby Digital, you'll need something like the Gefen GTV-DD-2-AA. No idea how the Gefen sounds. Or you could purchase an Oppo 103 which has analog RCA outputs and supports HDMI-ARC.
Convert Sony blu-ray player Coaxial to RCA
It seems all the new Sony Blu-Ray players have a coaxial digital output for audio and I need a RCA output so I can connect the Sony player to my Ayre AX-7e amplifier. It seems that all of the newer blu-ray players have coaxial cable output for the audio (and not RCA). In my case, I am using HDMI to get the video to my TV and want to take the audio directly into my Ayre AX-7e amplifier.
I found the Fosmon Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter. This device coverts coaxial to RCA. See (you might need to copy and paste this into Safari, etc):

Will this work? Does anyone have another solution?
I am taking the audio from my cable box into the Ayre amplifier (RCA to RAC) and want to do the same wit the blu-ray player.
