If you want something different but don’t want to lose the SQ of the Oppo, you’d have to at least upgrading to something like the Marantz AV8802A or 8805.
I have the 8802A and it is imho very very good. I love the AKM4490 discrete DACs in the Marantz for each channel. The 8805 is just out so you might be able to pick up the 8802A on clearance.
I have tried passing through the Oppo 205 before but it can be a bit clunky and I had sync issues with my projector until I decided to upgrade from my 8801 to the 8802.
The 8801 doesn’t do Atmos or DTSX so it’s not worth using it to get 11 channel audio.
