The DACs I want are going to cost money, whether they are in the player or in the prepro/Receiver.

If you want good DAC performance, you are going to have spend somewhere, maybe having to upgrade two (2) components. I'm leaning towards the pricier Blu-ray players with high quality multichannel DACs and SOTA video processing.

I'm loath to replace my current multichannel analog preamp with an HDMI-capable preamp because I think it'd cost me a lot more money to get preamp-performance close to what I already have (I'm skepticle I'd be happy with anything else).

No one has come up with an HDMI-based processor that doesn't sound like mid-fi at best, so I'm going the pure analog multi-channel preamp route for a while. I've found the same as you - it's cheaper to buy a top-line player for several thousand dollars than it is to buy a mediocre processor for way more.
