Analog audio is distinctly superior with the 205, but it doesn’t provide the 105 services like Netflix, Berlin Philharmonic, etc., and it is more glitch prone with DirecTV. I plan to use my 205 for Blu-ray and UHD, my 105 for DirecTV, Netflix, and Berlin Philharmonic. By taking optical from the 105 through an Ayre QX-5 Twenty Digital Hub, audio should at least equal that of the 205. This is written in future tense, because shortly after I installed the QX-5 it went silent and is now with Ayre.
