Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player

I am curious as to why you don’t use the in from the TV

with your 205

I have the 105 and the 203.  I bought the 203 when Oppo announced they were discontinuing making players, as a hedge against anything happening to the 105 (I use the 105 asa transport into a Bryston DAC 3, with HDMI for SACD/Blu Ray/DVD-A).  The 203 sits in a second system and doesn’t get a lot of use.  In fact it has primarily been used as a streamer, since the Bluesound Node in that system died, for a while I was using the 203 in that system to play files from my NAS.  The Oppos will also play music from Data Discs, of which I have several.  Both machines have been near flawless 

I had asked about the Magnetar in the Home Theater section.  Has anyone directly compared it to an Opp?

HDMI from the TV.  I have old Samsung that has HDM out.
