I don't see an IEEE 1394 input on the back, so I'd assume they're staying with analog for DVD-Audio and SACD.

I like the optical ports they are using - Panasonic's had them for a while. Keeps the optics protected without requiring you to have a little box of those optical port covers around. Also, those are some pretty stout looking binding posts. I'll be curious to see what the next newsletter says about it.
