If you want to guarantee audio, then you would want to use an audio-only HDMI connection, which is why many of these players have two HDMI outputs, to work with legacy audio. The 1.3/1.4 doesn't matter here.
But I thought you said the Panasonic was working.

Anyone know the status on the Philips player. It has two HDMI outputs for Legacy Audio. But can it decode to LPCM bitstream?

I thought the HDFury would be needed for players that only have one HDMI output. But why would you need HDFury if the player already splits it and can do LPCM Bitstream (if such an animal exists).

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
