Lexicon MC-1 vs. Classe SSP 30

I am currently using an Acurus ACT 1 processor and want to upgrade. I have narrowed my choices to the Lexicon MC-1 and the Classe SSP 30. I listen to a lot of DVD music and it is important that whatever one I choose will have a high end audio section. I intend to buy used on Audiogon. Does anyone have experience with these units?
My associated equipment is:
Classe CAV 180 amp
Pioneer 4700 DVD
Silverline Sonata ll speakers
Cardas Golen Cross interconnects
Kimber Illuminator Digital cable
Thanks.

Having heard neither I would definitely have to recommend the Classe SSP 30 if you are interested in sqeezing the most out of your music collection.

Some mags say that the MC-1 is so-so B rated when compared to the superior sonics of today's equipment. Not to mention it's inferior chassis and styling.

-IMO
