I continue to read posts here, AVS, etc. on implementing the BDP-83'SE' benefits. I came very close to purchasing the 990 just to get 7.1 analog inputs. It seems our pure analog inputs with bass management gives us some of the best sound to utilize the SE benefits. The ICBM is now sought after to get the same bass management in a pure analog environment. The stereo bypass inputs through CD are beautiful and the 5.1 bypass does the same for multichannel. Am I correct that the 990 does not offer the same pure analog pass through with bass management?
