I do expect that we will probably see a true universal player at some point - probably from somebody like Denon first, but eventually from others like OPPO Digital as well.
I've used the 990's multichannel analog input with two different universal DVD players, including one that I also used with my Model 950's multichannel analog input. In my case, I have not been able to hear any detrimental effects from the 990's A/D/A conversion of DVD-Audio and SACD.
Cool! You have solved my problems. For the time being I will add analog connections for my BRP to use it's capability of using uncompressed audio for the discs that have it and keep using DD or DTS for other discs. In the future, when available, buy a true universal player that does DVD upsampling and that does multiregion for the DVD. Am I asking too much?
