Kwok,

I have had similar concerns about the analog inputs as well, but I have not found an answer. I like Gonk have just settled on using the 7.1 inputs for my SACS/DVD-A. However the future doesn't look entirely bad, I am looking forward to the new Oppo BD-83 as that will be both a high quality SACD/DVD-A player and BD player. Problem solved for me!
