Lumin T2 vs. Oppo 205

I’m thinking of swapping out my Lumin T2 for an oppo 205. I like the T2 streaming capability and sound quality. However, it does not play physical media like CD/SACD and worst of all, it doesn’t have any input to access its DAC. I have an oppo 203 but I mainly bought it to use it as a bluray player and didn’t care for its audio quality. 
The oppo 205 looks like it has everything I need at least on paper. A dual 9038pro chip. T2 is dual 9028pro. My only concern is the streaming part on the oppo 205. I use Tidal and Tidal connect. To this date, I haven’t figured out how to get it to work with my oppo 203. 
Anyone with bought or Oppo205 can comment on its streaming capability? And sound quality compare to Lumin T2?

@thisisme ,

You can use MConnect app on Android or Apple devices to cast Tidal to the 205. I have done that before. Tidal Connect will not work.

In my system, when I had Tidal, I used MConnect to stream music directly from the iPad or Android phone to the 205. You need to make sure that the devices are running on the same network. I have the paid version - MconnectHD.
