S300 around 3 years ago for a great price. It has 5.1 analog outputs
which were perfect for my non-HDMI Denon home theatre receiver.
Blu-ray player prices are really affordable now (in Canada anyways).
I'm not sure how many models have analog outputs now-a-days, for those
with older receivers. I know that the models with analog outputs used
to be more expensive. Could be that there aren't many available now
because all new Home theatres come with the proper HDMI audio
standard.
I think Blu-ray Audio discs could be more successful than SACD or DVD-
Audio because you had to get a special player for those, whereas Blu-
ray is already undergoing wider adoption because of HD video.
