How are you all playing back the audio from your Blu-Ray discs?

1. HDMI with decoding in the processor/receiver
2. HDMI with decoding to PCM in the player
3. Analog output from the player

Same player, same approach. If I were to replace the gear today, I'd probably get an Oppo and decode in the AVR.

I don't have a BDP that accepts Analogue inputs but that is what I would use. I used analogue for SACD with my former Oppo player and preferred it.

I'm using the analog outputs from the Denon DVD3800BDCI.

I have the Denon Blu Ray 3800bdci also. I use to use the analog outs to my Primare SP31.7. That was the only way possible. Now with the McIntosh MX150, I use the hdmi cable, so the processor does the decoding.

Using analog outs on my players. My audio gear is mostly 2-channel. My C LS & RS go direct to the loudspeaker manager for those channels/amps. Eventually, I'd like to route them to my mixing desk, and then I can set up any 6 or 8 channel mix and route it to any speakers in the theater. Presently, only my two Oppo players can feed all the channels.

My HT setup is still 2CH, I have a 100inch screen with a Runco 1080p projector feeded from my Oppo BR player that also serves me as CD transport.

For my system with my Oppo 83SE NuForce Edition I play bitrate from the player to the Onkyo Pre/Pro 885 Processor through HDMI. However for 2 channel listening I run the output via Coax to my Lavry DA10 DAC (I also have a CD transport for Redbook CD going to the DAC) which goes to my ARC LS10 Linestage Preamp. Additionally, for multichannel SACD and DVD-A I run 6 analog cables out from the Oppo/Nuforce unit to the Onkyo Pre/Pro.

I use the analog outputs from my Oppo 83SE to a Rotel 1068 prepro which does not have HDMI capability, for multi channel. For 2 channel the 83SE has the Modwright tube modification running through Audioquest cables to my Conrad Johnson PV-14L preamp.
