CONNECTIONS
Pictured below is the rear of the Omega
SACD2 showing all input and output
connections.
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 outputs
The Omega SACD2 Player is equipped with
two digital outputs: one AES/EBU (XLR
connector) and one SPDIF (RCA connector).
These can be connected to a digital recorder
or other digital audio component.
When playing a standard CD, the digital
output sample rate can be set to 44.1 kHz,
48kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz or 192 kHz by
pressing the sample rate button on the
remote control.
The digital outputs are disabled when playing
a Super Audio CD.
Analog outputs
The Omega SACD2 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 unbal-
anced output is converted by a separate DAC
followed by dedicated single-ended circuitry.
Both the balanced and single-ended outputs
can be used simultaneously.
Infrared (IR) input and output
The Omega SACD2 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 SACD2 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.
