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?

If the mConnect works anything like it did with my Oppo105(I couldn’t get it to work with 203), I would pass on the oppo205. I sold my 105D for the Lumin T2. 
It’s a shame that Oppo left the hifi business. They had great hardwares even in today’s standard  

I think my best option now is to keep the Oppo 203 for my HT usage and get a Luxman D-10X. Now I need to research on the DAC used in the D-10X.
