I have the Classe Sigma SSP and AMP5 for surrounds and center. My amp for 2 channel is Classe CA-2300. I have Sasha 2 L/R speakers with Wilson Center and focal surrounds.
I switched the Sigma SSP from Classe CP-800 to get surround sound in my system. The 2 channel sound is superb - I do not hear a notable difference between the two.
Surround sound is great as well. The center is connected to the AMP5 and the audio is clear, crisp and detailed. the surrounds are good but my speakers are not as good so it's a little noticeable there but I don't think it's the AMP...plus - not much sound comes from the rear anyway.
I haven't had trouble with any of my sources with the SSP...I have Oppo blueray, Chromecast, Mac Mini and they all work great - great picture and sound. Shameless plug - the chromecast has some great surround sound for the price :-)
