Best player for MKV HD Audio

[djgarygillespie]

My current bluray player can't play most of my mkv redux (lossless) files, and wanted to know which current players out there have the
least amount of issues playing HD Audio.

I've read these players can play MKV files pretty good:
LG BD670
Panasonic DMP-BDT210
Panasonic DMP-BDT320
Philips BDP3200
Philips BDP5200
Sony BDP-S380
Sony BDP-S580

Has anybody here have any experience with mkv hd audio on any of these players, or is there some other players I should be looking at?

The OPPO looks great, but that's a little to much hardware than what I need right now. Maybe in a couple of years I'll buy one, but I would wait to see what happens with these 4K players.

Have you thought about building a HTPC?

It's where I store my .MKV files and play them on (and through my AVR).

how is it too much hardware? are you trying to say you don't want to pay what an oppo cost? Just trying to understand what you mean.

The oppo seems awesome.
I was looking for a player around 120, I don't have 400+ to spend on a unit.

If your just wanting to watch MKV files with HD audio the PS3 is the best option.

It doesn't play MKV natively but you can use a PC to convert the files into MPEG with a program called MKV2VOB.

I've used it for years with fantastic results.

Files convert in about a minute (1GB-2GB size) on your computer and the PS3 laps it up nicely. Thank you very much!

The PS3 can't play files with HD audio, only AC3 or AAC audio regardless of what container it's in (MPG, M2TS, or MP4).

Your best bet is to burn a disc with a Blu-ray file structure. You should be able to remux your MKVs with tsmuxer. I haven't tried this with just audio tracks, but it works great with video and audio.
