While my T778 is going to the repair centre, I've now setup my 203 as my AVR.
It can do almost everything that the T778 can do, except for the turntable input, and no direct streaming capability - although it seems I can use Roon to achieve this. And there is no eARC functionality, so watching Netflix/YT/etc. from the TV is a bit of a manual process, but I can probably get around this with my Harmony remote.
The sub output level also seems to be not very strong from the 203, as the sub is not coming on when it should. If I run a test tone to wake it up, then it keeps working. But if there's enough of a silent spell, the sub goes on standby and doesn't kick back in, unless I manually intervene. But the workaround is to just leave the sub permanently on.
The sound quality to me sounds just as good as the T778.
TBH, I'm struggling to justify why I would want the T778 back...

really? Wow...
But setting the speakers to Large would mean too much bass, right?

would pass a full range signal
fine for full,range speakers with large bass drivers
not so good for the average home theatre speaker with 6 inch drivers

Anyone here using Roon with their 203 and figured out how to get Roon to switch on the unit remotely?
Despite my 203 being on Network Standby, Roon doesn't see it unless I switch it on first.

A thread posted today reports the Sony (USA) web store now lists the '800M2' 4K disc player as no longer available.
Are any parts no longer obtainable that would preclude another manufacturer from creating a 4K disc player with the measured performance of the Oppo UDP-205 ?
