DAC Section

The digital to analog conversion circuitry is a completely new design by Classé Audio. This unique design utilizes six channels of the Crystal CS4397 delta-sigma converter. For each of the Omega SACD balanced outputs, two channels of this DAC are used, one for the positive signal and one for the negative. For the single-ended outputs, the remaining two channels are used, one for the right and one for the left. This unique arrangement allows for full balanced operation and uncompromised single-ended operation as well.

In addition, it means that the balanced and single- ended outputs produce the same output level.

Power Supply

Classé engineers have long recognized the importance of pure power for high-performance digital designs. The Classé Omega SACD player has the most sophisticated power supply of any Classé digital product. The Classé Omega SACD Player uses a massive regulated outboard power supply. This chassis houses two transformers, one for digital circuitry, and one for analog, as well as active pre-regulation. This arrangement assures that the audio circuitry is provided with a power source completely free of digital noise. In addition, the power supplies for each section of circuitry are double- or triple-regulated within the main chassis. Again, this ensures not only complete rejection of AC line noise, but prevents noise from being transmitted between sections within the main chassis.

UNPACKING AND POSITIONING

Unpack your Omega SACD Player carefully. If you notice any shipping damage, contact your dealer immediately. Saving the packaging material is advised in case the unit needs to be shipped for service. If you choose to dispose of the packaging, please recycle.

Installing batteries in the remote control

To install the batteries in the remote control, remove the screws that hold the battery cover to the back of the remote. Install the two AAA batteries as indicated on the plastic battery holder inside and replace the cover.

Positioning the Omega SACD Player and Power Supply

For best performance, place your Omega SACD Player on a solid, non-resonant surface. Do not place the Omega SACD Player directly on top of another component.

Place the Omega SACD Power Supply close enough to the main unit so that the umbilical cord can be connected to both units. Do not place the power supply in direct contact with the main unit.

CONNECTIONS

Pictured here is the rear of the Omega SACD main unit showing all input and output connections. Refer to the page number indicated for more information on these connections.

Connecting the Power Supply to the Main Unit

Before connecting the AC mains, you must connect the power supply to the main unit. Using the umbilical cord included in the carton, connect the power supply to the main unit. Align the connectors on either end of the umbilical and firmly press them into the sockets labeled DC SUPPLY on the power supply and main unit. Rotate the collar on the umbilical connectors to secure the connection.

Never disconnect the umbilical cord without first disconnecting the AC mains from the wall outlet.
