Default BD player with 5.1 PCM out via analogue?

I am currently building a home theatre and am getting a JVC DLA-RS1 projector for video and have a decent 6.1 speaker set-up. I have an older but high end amplifier, a Yamaha DSP-AX1 which is capable of receiving up to 6.1 analogue input for example SACD's.

I am wondering if there is a BD player on the market which is capable of decoding DD True-HD and the DTS HD equivalent into PCM 5.1 (or even 6.1?) and then hooking that up to my old amplifier?

I have heard that some people have succeeded doing this whereas others are only able to receive stereo sound or experience odd things like the LFE channel disappearing.

So either I keep my old high end amplifier, which I would prefer to do and use a new, high-end BD player or I buy a newer but cheaper amplifier which supports Dolby True HD, DTS-HD, PCM, etc. and use a PS3 to play my BD discs (I hear the PS3 is a fairly decent player which I could also use for gaming).

Any idea on what I should do?
