Phillip, re - your last post and analog stereo. I'm not really sure. My comments were directed towards multi-channel film soundtracks. As a laser disc enthusiast I'm sure you are familiar with some of the incredible audio experiences afforded by laser disc. For my money, Bd and lossless...
Given your laserdisc background; I am a little surprised that you would not prioritize analog out for lossless in your Bd player choices. That would certainly be my recommendation.
