Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ?

I think OP's analog via RCA requirement suggests an Oppo 105 or a used 95. It is the superior analog section that distinguishes the 105 or 95 from the 103. The 105 and 95 have specific balanced and unbalanced stereo output.

I use HDMI from a 105D to a Bryston SP3 prepro in one setup, and balanced analog from a 105 directly to the amp in a secondary setup. The sound with either setup is excellent, but a bit different, because the primary setup uses Parasound JC 1 mono blocks to KEF Reference 107/2s, the secondary an A 21 stereo amp to KEF LS50s.

DB,

I'm sure you're right that my "analog via RCA requirement suggests and Oppo 105 or 95," but alas, my budget suggests something less expensive. ;)

I use a Panasonic DMP-BDT500 in a 2 channel analogue system. It has been replaced by the DMP-BDT 460.

I got this player specifically to listen to blu ray audio discs and have not been disappointed. I use a separate CD player for CDs.

Stewie,

Do it right the first time. I would just say wait a little and save your money and when feasible buy the BDP-105. I use it as my "analog CD player" into my system. Great sounding unit.

The Marantz UD5007 is great and at a price that's well below its performance! It has stereo outs and hdmi only though but if the stereo outs are what your after there up to snuff for stereo music playback.
