Anyone using Oppo205 direct to power amp for MCH?

I’m considering building a budget MCH system around my Oppo 205 direct into a 5 or 7 channel power amp, principally to realise the potential of  my SACD collection.

Would be good to hear experiences of others who have done this.  
 

On assumption that Oppo’s volume control is in digital domain, I guess there may be an issue in matching amp power to speakers, so that I’m not attenuating so much as to compromise resolution?  I’m most likely to go with  a Hypex MP MCH  amp from Nord, but while I’d be tempted by the 350 w variety, maybe the 150w or even 75 w would be better?  Speakers likely to be Kef Q350/650c/150 in a fairly small room.
 

Grateful for any input, thanks.

I have done this and it works.  However, I found the volume control to be awful ergonomically and I never trusted the volume to be where I wanted it at each power-on.  I did this only temporarily and could not live with it.

Thanks. Any thoughts about how carefully power amp and speakers need to be matched in such a set up?  I don’t want to end up reducing the Oppo’s volume so much as to cause audible impact on resolution.  I know some power amps have adjustable gain, but I haven’t seen with Hypex.

Sorry, no.  It was done only temporarily and worked in my regular setup which I did not change to accommodate the Oppo.

Thanks anyway Kal, good at least to hear from a forum member who has used the Oppo this way.
