I've noticed that the software upgrade doesn't address the bass management A/D/A issue when using the 7.1 Direct, which I was hoping would be resolved. I've been thinking of buying the SMS-1 anyway, but will using the SMS-1 allow me to avoid having the analog multichannel output signal from my universal player (Pioneer Elite DV-79AVI) go through any processing within the 990 without having to adjust speaker size, etc.?
If so, would someone explain to me how to accomplish this with the SMS-1?
