I was going to hold off on a BD player but broke down and got the Sony BDP S550 this week. Hooked it up via HDMI directly to the TV and the 7.1 analog audio. Fantastic sound via the 990!

If you have wanted to go BD but were waiting for a new pre/pro don't wait, you'll get great audio from your 990.
