New Blu Ray DVD player has no analog outputs

I understand that the industry assumes that everybody is willing to update their home theater system every few years, but really ... Why did they decide to discontinue analog outputs on new Blu Ray DVD players? More importantly, what can I use to correct the problem?

I have and relatively old NAD T742 Surround Sound Amp (5.1). It sounded great with my 4 year old Toshiba Blu Ray player (with stereo analog outputs). But the new Sony BDP S3200 player has no analog outputs. If I connect the NAD directly to my Sony TV's audio output, it sounds just awful. The SNR is terrible and the audio mushy. Far inferior to the old Toshiba player (which has other problems, but that's irrelevant)

I tried a Radio Schack Coaxial Digital to Analog converter, but it only supports PCM and won't work with the Sony Player when a Blu Ray disk is inserted. I've searched the internet for a solution short of a $500 Oppo DVD player, but haven't found much.

Can you all help?
