... unless you have an HK receiver in which case bass management *can* work, but obviously that means the analog inputs need to be digitized again.

I'm not sure if you can turn bass management off and keep all analog paths for SACD/DVDA with an HK receiver -- I remember there is that option for stereo but don't know about 5.1.
