BDP with analog outs

I have a friend overseas who wants to buy a BDP for Audio, doesn’t much care about video.  Budget is limited and his integrated amp doesn’t have a DAC.  He therefore needs analog outs.  My BDPs have always connected digitally.  There doesn’t seem to be much selection here.  Any recommendations?

You are correct, they really didn't have any real competition. And now the price's for their used gear is going through the roof. He may be better off with a basic CD player.
Good luck.

The Yamaha players had analog outs - now discontinued I believe but you could poke around and see if a dealer might have one left.

He could get an inexpensive outboard dac as well.
