is oppo only bluray w/ hdmi in, stereo analog out?

Hello,

From what research I've done it looks like only the oppo 105 has hdmi in and and stereo / 5.1 analog out (I only need analog stereo out)? Here is my wish list:

- hdmi in for lame comcast cable box for video out and analog stereo out processing (2 hdmi in would be nice)
- hdmi out to my flatscreen
- stereo analog out to go to my stereo analog preamp
- amazon streaming built in
- high quality video and audio processing

Is my only choice an oppo 105 for $1200 plus add on hardware to get the amazon streaming to work?

From what I've read, the BD-E6500 Samsung Blu-ray player's hdmi ins are only pass throughs, doesn't have analog out and is buggy.

Seems like there should be more choices out there. I guess a compromise would be going with an oppo 103, but that does not have hdmi in and not as good as analog out processing as the 105 (I understand the 105 stereo out will be very hard to beat).

TIA

BUT i heard the stereo out is a) through its own dac which probably is not as good as yours nor voiced to your liking ....and b) the signal going to the 2ch rca outputs or xlr are dumbed down .... and NOT anywhere near hi-rez PCM found in the blu-ray discs' Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

I heard some people use an audio de-embedder to get the hi-rez 2-ch PCM to their dac. Know anything about that??
