It depends on what you need. Do you have surround sound? Do you have a receiver that can decode DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD? Or does your receiver have 5.1 or 7.1 analog input to allow the player to decode the sound?
Don’t just buy the “best” blu-ray player for the hell of it. If your just hooking it straight up to a TV then the BDP-S350 is a better choice.

I would suggest Sony Black Blu-ray Disc Player – BDP-S560.
