Upgrading from a Classe CDP 300 and SSP 600

Good choice.

Thanks! Do you think I will be disappointed versus a Mac MVP 891 and MX 121. I just am concerned in my system especially with video that I will be able to hear $7K worth of difference!

If there is really $7K of difference, especially if you stick to HDMI (and save another $500 by getting the Oppo 93)! Remember, the Mac has MultEQ XT and the Integra has MultEQ XT32. (All this is inferential, of course, without hearing/using the MX-121 yet.)

Not for nothing, but am I missing something? I wouldn't suspect that either the Oppo or the Integra would be -- by any stretch of the imagination -- an "upgrade" from the Classe gear you already own. Granted, the Oppo will have much greater functionality as a universal player than a vanilla CDP, but bet it won't play CDs as well as the Classe. And all you'd arguably gain from a current gen AVR is HDMI which, in all honesty, will be more convenient for the 2.5 seconds it takes you to plug it in, and then you'll never think of it again. I totally understand the instinct to devote resources to the two channel gear and go with "sufficient" for the HT bits, but were it me, I'd happily stick with what you've got, and then focus on dedicated two channel gear as an add-on (which is just what it sounds like you have in mind).
