Don't get a blu ray player that has pre out, for it will have to go into another box for volume control. Just get a blu ray player that can read the high quality DTS and Dolby signals and send the digital data down the HDMI output. Use your quality pre/pro to decode the digital info. A simple HK 254 does the job and very well.
If the blu ray player is near the tv and audio electronics you do not need quality HDMI cables, which are nearly always a massive rip off. If they are only two meters long, most any HDMI cable will do. Mine only cost twenty odd dollars each. They are quality with gold connectors which is all you need. You only need a high quality expensive HDMI cable when it is 5-10 meters long or longer. What is important is a uniform impedance to reduce reflections. That requires a very high coverage shield, 99% coverage which does take some extra money. But for 2 meters? Don't sweat it. You are only transmitting digital signals.
We'll have to agree to disagree about human caused global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along.
