A lot depends on the quality of the DACs you decide to use.

E.g. it's easy for me to believe the analog outputs from your Classe Processor are going to be more "dynamic" than from your Toshiba. Same with the Pioneer unless maybe it's the $2500 Pioneer Elite Blu-ray player.

Are you getting lossless using HDMI 1.3 to the Processor ? At a minimum the player has to either be able to bistream or decode DTS HD MA to PCM. And the processor has to be able to decode the bitstream and/or accept PCM through HDMI. Assuming you use the processor DACs.

You are also not going to get multichannel lossless from DVD playback, only blu-rays with lossless sound tracks.
