Blu-ray to RCA or Balanced

Lot of different information out there on this subject, but wanted to get some opinions. I need to pick up a new Blu-ray player as my old one finally died. I have a Pass Labs X350.5 going into a Pass Labs X1 pre-amp and it only has balanced or rca’s which are hard to find in a Blu-ray player. I don’t want to spend a lot on the player as they have never seemed to last long and just need to be updated, kind of like our phones. Can someone let me know the best route to go here? I’ve heard of hdmi extractors, are they a good route, if so, anyone know of a good one? Thanks to all!
