Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray Player

$195.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it took me awhile to figure out why i couldn't get my system to play either lossless audio format until i had to go into the dvd menu to change the hdmi's audio output to hd audio.
from www.amazon.com
i'm using the analogue audio outputs and the sound is better than the now defunct dvd audio or sacd, to my ears.

if you just intend to use the hdmi cable for audio output it may not be a factor.

from www.amazon.com
it is on by default and the manual does not mention that you need to turn it off in order to enable advanced audio output.

if you don't need a universal disc player to handle your sacd and dvd-audio discs, or have a need for analog audio output, then i highly recommend this unit.
from www.amazon.com
i had to hook up a toslink/optical audio cable to the receiver for sound.
