Pete - again, your setups are my fave here at AA. I have the 75" version of the Sony you just bought. Both it and the 205 are reference in every way. I sidelined my BDP-103 when I bought the 205 ... Still not sure what I'm going to do with it.
I run the 205 via XLRs into my C200 and via HDMI to my Integra DHC-80.6 AVP. As I peck this response, I'm listening to DePeche Mode Ultra in 5.1 and it's just stunning! The 205 has really impressed me in every aspect. The 103 did give me some listening fatigue with loud listening sessions with multi-ch audio discs while the 205 has none! The 205 is also head and shoulders better as a 2-ch source into the C200 than the 103. Of course, both are stellar with Dolby Atmos - The Kraftwerk Bluray being the showstopper, just jaw dropping use of Atmos.
Have fun!
