AC power
Check that the AC voltage for which this unit
is configured matches your local AC line voltage.
The correct operating voltage is indicated on the
rear of the power supply chassis, adjacent to the
AC power inlet. Operating this unit on AC voltage
other than that specified on the rear of the unit
can damage or destroy this unit and increase the
risk of electric shock.
Connect the AC power cord to the rear of the
power supply unit and directly to an AC outlet.
For best results, do not use extension cords or
multiple-outlet “power strips”. Also, do not
disable the ground pin as this can increase the
risk of electric shock.
Digital inputs
The Omega SACD Player is equipped with two
digital inputs, which accept any standard PCM
digital audio format from 32 kHz to 96 kHz
sampling rate. One input uses an SPDIF (RCA)
connector and the other uses TOSLINK.
Digital outputs
The Omega SACD Player is equipped with three
digital outputs: one AES/EBU (XLR connector),
one SPDIF (RCA connector) and glass optical fiber
(ST connector). These can be connected to a digital
recorder or other digital audio component.
The sampling rate of the digital outputs depends
on the source being fed to the output and on the
digital filter used. When using the internal transport
to play a standard CD, the digital output will be
44.1 kHz if the standard filter is selected, and 96
kHz if the sample-rate converter is selected.
When a digital input is selected, the digital outputs
will either pass the signal through at the same
sample rate if the standard filter is selected, or
produce a 96 kHz signal if the 96 kHz sample-rate
converter is selected.
The digital outputs are disabled when using the
internal transport to play a Super Audio CD.
Selecting Analog outputs
The Omega SACD Player has both balanced (XLR)
and single-ended (RCA) outputs. Both types of
outputs have been carefully optimized to give best
possible performance. However, the most realistic
and natural sonic quality is obtained by connecting
the balanced outputs to a balanced input on your
preamplifier.
The balanced output is derived from a balanced
digital signal, which is converted to analog using
two DACs per channel followed by differential
output circuitry. The unbalanced output is converted
by a separate DAC followed by dedicated single-
ended circuitry.
Both the balanced and single-ended outputs can
be used simultaneously, and both have the same
output voltage.
Infrared (IR) input and output
The Omega SACD Player is equipped with 1/8“
mini-plug connectors that allow the unit to directly
receive and transmit remote IR commands.
These connectors can be used with equipment
that receives IR commands and converts them for
transmission on copper wire. This is especially
useful for situations where the Omega SACD Player
is outside of the line-of-sight of your listening
location. Contact your Classé dealer for information
on installing and using remote IR repeating
equipment.
