By not mentioning your TV has an HDMI input, your original post led me to think you had only component video for HD sources.

Your scenario would likely work fine. Oppo's generous return policy would make an in-home trial easy.

Looking at your situation from my perspective, I would opt for a leftover or refurbished Sony or Panasonic Blu-ray player from the 2012-13 model year. They all originally sold for about $130 or less. The Panasonic DMP-BD220 and 320 and Sony BDP-S390 and 590 models (we own all of these) all have HDMI outputs (of course) and analog stereo outputs. The picture quality is excellent from all four units (using current model Panasonic 50" and 65" plasma TVs).

Sony still offers their best BD player, the BDPS790 ($248 at Amazon), which also has analog stereo outputs.

Good luck!
