But would the Lumin music server connected via USB give any better quality than my laptop computer with the same connection?

Would using an Oppo 205, which has a jitter reduction circuit and low jitter master clock, make much of a difference for audio via HDMI with the Sigma?

Thank thank you Caphill, you are a wealth of good information.  Would using a music server, such Lumin, give even better 2 channel quality as compared to using a USB connection from my computer?

Caphill,You sure do know the Classé very well. I have it and absolutely love it.    Help me understand why the Sigma would perform better with a connection via USB compared with a HDMI connection?  Wouldn’t  these be run through the same DAC’s?

Hi Caphilli can not get my dealer to come out and re-calibrate it. I don’t think they carry Classé anymore since they are now part of Sound United. Very frustrating as I don’t have the tools to do this.
