The Oppo player is doing what it suppose to do on its analog output (with a 10db lower LFE channel). It's the job of the pre-amplifier to harmonize the channel levels.

Doing that in the player isn't without risk for a pre-amplifier LFE input :

It is not really an option for the player to boost its analogue SW output, as it would be in danger of overloading a receiver's input circuitry when a maximum volume LFE signal appeared - feeding a 6 volt signal into a nominally 2 volt input. You might get away with it if the amplifier was purely doing an analogue passthrough, but it would overload any receiver with multichannel ADCs.
