What are you streaming tonight?
YES, Fragile, Peter Gabriel So -  via Qobuz / Roon Oppo 203.  Just killed my Tidal acct and went with Qobuz due to MQA limitation of Oppo 203. Happy with it so far. Similar content available between both so far.  
CD no more produced?
I am using my Oppo 203 for both CD playback and as a DAC for Qobuz via Roon. To my ears I cant tell the difference, if streaming file is same resolution as CD at a minimum, should there be a difference with same DAC in play ?  I have been happy wi... 
Most Recent ROON Upgrade Quite Nice
@douglas_schroeder  -  I agree 100% , it has come a log way and will continue to get better.  Catalog depth, sound quality, new music exploration, and convenience is combination that is hard to beat.  
Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS?
I have a Synology NAS that I stream from using my OPPP 203, capability built in. Made it a lot easier to try this sort of thing. Now i have progressed to Roon, which can use my library or Tidal, and the Oppo is recognized as a output device by Roon.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Love UFO , I must have seen them 15 times. Strangers in the night is one of the best live albums out there of that era. Great guitar work. Although I still cant get used to the remaster not opening with "Natural thing".

Foo Fighters  - Echoes silence patience & grace  
So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system
In that range I would at least look at the Anthem.  I recently purchased the AVM60 and am thrilled with it. Built in ability to stream, room correction, etc. I have a 7.1.4 set up. Never thought I would add the additional channels for ATMOS but am... 
YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me!
 I second  rbstehno,  Roon with Tidal is a great way to explore with links to Bio's, other albums by same artist, similar artists, different performances of same song , etc. It can become a rabbit hole as you suggest, but a very functional one whe... 
Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor
I am probably a step down in budget from where you are, running Oppo 203, B&W 803D main and matching surround system, 4 in-ceiling B&W for ATMOS , 2 B&W SCM-S   for surrounds,  Rotel amplification, switched from Rotel pre amp/processor...
