Default Do you connect your Oppo to TV or processor?

I have been connecting my Oppo 205 directly to TV, and using its analog audio outputs to feed Parasound P7 preamp. Now I plan to add more speakers to my system, so I’m considering a change.

I own an old Marantz 8801 processor, which supports 11.2 and 4K. I think I have two options:
OP1 - connect Oppo to TV for video; connect Oppo to Marantz (HDMI) for audio.
OP2 - connect Oppo to Marantz for both audio and video, then connect Marantz to TV.

I don’t care about new fancy audio formats, but do want to retain good video quality from Oppo, so it seems OP1 makes more sense. What do you suggest?
