So I've setup a small room in my house as a media room. It has a Samsung UN65MU8000 TV, some video game consoles and today, one of my coworkers gave me their unused Oppo UDP-203.
When setting up this media room, I went with Kanto YU6 bookshelf speakers and the matching subwoofer (Kanto Sub8) over a soundbar.

The speakers are connected directly to the TV's optical output. Overall I'm happy with the audio I'm getting from the speakers and sub. and I have a Logitech Harmony that can control all of it.
Now that I have an Oppo UDP-203 though, would it be worth returning the Kanto speakers and sub. and getting a Samsung HW-K850 Dolby Atmos soundbar instead? I'm still within the return period and the Samsung actually would be slightly more than the Kanto setup.

It looks like the Oppo supports Atmos and DTS:X AND HDMI ARC + CEC.
