Default Which audio DAC is used in your Bluray player?

Hello everyone, we all know that Bluray improves the video play-back in HD era, but no manufacturers publish any information, or just as little info as "192/24" about audio DAC used. For a player to have great sound quality, it also needs a good audio DAC to achieve "ultimate" sound quality thru analog outputs. If you know what audio DAC chip(s) is(are) used in your BD player, would you kindly help other people by posting your player's audio DAC(s) info here? Thanks.

My 2 cents:

1. Sony BDP-S1/E: TI/BB PCM-1738EG
2. Sony BDP-S300, S500, S2000ES: TI/BB PCM-1791A
3. Sony BDP-S350: AK-4382A
4. Sony BDP-S550: AK-4358VQ for 7.1 analog output and AK-4382A for stereo analog output.
5. Denon 3800: TI/BB PCM-1796
6. Marantz BD8002: TI/BB PCM-1796
7. Pioneer Elite Series: Wolfson (do not have details, Wolfson DACs should be fine, however, I am not sure they can compete with TI/BB PCM-1792/94/96.)
8. Samsung: ESS 9006
9. Panasonic DMP-BD55K: TI/BB PCM-1681 (with great filtering caps: ELNA Cerafine, Rurycone SMD)

Can anyone provide more info about LG, Panasonic? With DD-TrueHD, DTS-HD MA on-board decoding output thru 7.1 analog jacks, we need good DACs! Among this list, the best is the (USD6.60) PCM-1738EG, second on the list is (USD3.70) PCM1796.
