On the one hand, with respect, you are wrong regarding the stereo inputs, as Audionet uses the circuit board of their preamplifier PRE I G2 for the main channels.On the other hand you are right regarding the 8-channel analog inputs. These signals pass A/D-D/A converters. The sound quality depends on how good their converters are. If one believes in the test magazines, the converters must be excellent. I myself can agree.

Tommy,You are correct on the main channels, and I am wrong.
Still if I was going to get this processor and use SACD or DVD-A, it would probably not work too well with the other analog inputs going through the A/D/A cycle.
Are you currently using this processor? Do they expect to sell it in the US?

Hello bstan,I'm not yet using the MAP. Though it costs less than half of the Theatre processor it is still a little bit too expensive for me :-)
I have listened to the MAP and I am deeply impressed. I also like the plain design that hides the high functionality.Just like you, I wonder how it sounds using SACD or DVD-A. The A/D-D/A cycle could be a disadvantage. But with respect to their other devices I think that this cycle is very well constructed.
I know that Audionet HAD a distributor in the US, but I don't know if they still HAVE. Try the website www.blinkhighend.com
