I recently (and finall) connected my HD-XA2 analog outs to the 990 7.1 analog in to see what all the fuss regarding TrueHD and DD+ was about...I'm hooked, sounds awesome, and I can't believe I waited so long to do it. I really don't feel the need for HDMI switching anymore...on the audio front anyway. The video front is a different story; I'd definitely like to see at least two HDMI outs on the 990 replacement.
