2 HDMI Output
e Sigma SSP HDMI output supports HDMI v1.4 featuring 2D and
standard 3D video formats at resolutions up to 1080p @ 24/50/60 fps,
Audio Return Channel (ARC), HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC), Deep
Colour,x.v.Color(xvYCC)andprovidesa2-channelSPDIFdownmixof
the source material.
NOTE: HDMI is an interactive format, which can occasionally
cause format errors between the source devices and the output
display. If you encounter connectivity problems, troubleshooting
techniques that are eective with ordinary digital and analog
signals, such as bypassing the SSP and connecting the source directly
to the display, are inconclusive with HDMI signals. Consult your
Classé dealer for assistance.
3 Digital Audio Input - USB
e Sigma SSP supports digital audio sources up to 24-bit/192 kHz via
USB. e rear panel USB Device connector mates with a USB Host such
as a PC or Mac.
NOTE: PCs running Windows (All versions) require a special
driver to support the Sigma SSP as an audio output device. is
driver is posted on the Classé website under Service & Support >
Software & Codes.
4 Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial
e Sigma SSP supports two digital audio inputs, with SPDIF connectors
labeled COAX1 to COAX3. ese inputs accept PCM data streams up to
24-bits long and up to 192 kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using
cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer and that carry a
75Ωimpedancerating.YourClassédealercanhelpyouwithpropercable

NOTE: e bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very
much strained at a 192 kHz sampling frequency. For that reason
you may want to limit signals using the TOSlink™ connections to a
maximum rate of 96 kHz.
7 Analog Audio Inputs - Single-Ended
e Sigma SSP supports 2pr of RCA type connectors for single-ended
analog sources. ey are labeled R2/L2 and R3/L3. An optional internal
Phono Preamp Module may be installed, converting input R2/L2 for use
as a phono input.
