Haven't seen one. But why is it necessary? Just get the best one for audio you can find and you have the great picture quality as a plus (and for navigating menus on audio discs).

The reason I ask is I don't have my audio gear near a monitor so I don't plan to use it to watch movies or anything like that, just audio.  If a regular blu ray player will do the trick using the remote that I am down with that.

Some discs you may have to have a monitor to access all you want, I think. But some are designed to be used without a monitor. To be honest, there are so few Blu-ray Audio discs out yet that I'm not sure it warrants buying a machine that is good enough for analog output (there's the rub, most Blu-ray players are not really designed with a great audio output stage). But then again, there are more Blu-ray
Audio discs I'm not interested in musically than there are those that I am interested in, someone with different tastes may find that quite different and see enough titles to justify a machine.

I've seen a couple of blu ray disks out there, not many, that I'd like to have and hear.  That's about it.  As it is, in my bedroom system I use a cheap Sony blu-ray player which does a good job with CDs.

Cool. Well use it for Blu-ray discs then and see what that sounds like.

I decided about five years plus ago that my weakest link was my sources and I went to levels of sources that make me very picky now. In some ways I wish I hadn't but then again I revel in the sound I have and I got all my bases covered when I could, before I remarried!

Check out OPPO they have 2 players in which the more expensive one has upgraded dac chips for audiophile use and they also now have a bluray transportl. I have owned several OPPO units and they are quality built. I use them for video but based on the quality of the video performance I would venture to say the audio should be on par as well.
