Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ?

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 It has been replaced by the DMP-BDT 460.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.

Learning about Blu Ray....have been watching dvds through my 2-ch  stereo.
1) Do Blu Ray movie tracks come in verhy hi-rez digital format??   Some of them? All of them??  If only some, how can one find out what the audio track format is??
2) I want to reamain with 2-ch system - small apartment...How can one set up an Oppo to get hi-rez Blu Ray movie track 24/192 digital signal....out to my Bel Canto DAC ( then to my amp, speakers??
