Is my reciever coverting back to digital?

I have a Yamaha dsp-e492, it has no digital inputs, but it does have a sub-out, which sends out 120hz and below from all the inputs, except from the 6 channel discreet inputs. It has dolby pro logic processing available as well. Does this mean that the processor converts all signals into the digital domain, and then back to analog?
I know I shouldn't be using this thing as a stereo pre-amp anyway, but I'm wondering how much I'm really missing out on by not having, say the adcom gfp-750 or a similar ht bypass pre-amp in my system...

set-up:
yamaha dsp-e492 3-channel surround reciever
adcom gfa-2535 4-channel amp
monitor audio bronze b2 fronts and center (junk surrounds and sub)
philips dvd963sa

Pro logic is an Analog circuit. It's not DAC!(digital to analog conversion). The "digital soundfield processing" Yamaha uses(in addition to pro/logic) takes sound and "adds" digital delays and processing to the sound, not converting the whole thing to digital! It's an "additional process", not an entire transformation of analog to digital.
For a full explanation of how pro-logic works, I suggest a search on the net.
hope this helps
