If I'm coming straight from my CD player would I use this for my headphones?

yep. if you have rca outs on the back of the cd player, use those right into the rca in on the vali. if you only have an optical audio out, you'll need a dac. there is a schiit optical modi. you'd plug the optical out from the cd player to the optical in on the modi, then rca out from modi to rca in on vali. easy

Should be fine with your receiver. There are usually several places on receivers to plug in accessory machines that use phono plug inputs. If you're replacing your cd player with this machine, it could plug into the same place where the old machine was plugged into, for instance. I love this machine. Great old school technology and you can randomly shuffle and have continuous music for a long time.

No, you would get a cable that takes the small headphone plug and has a stereo rca out. I got one for my daughter so she can run an integrated amp. I think we bought an Audioquest cable for about $35 that works very well.

You would just use the line out (RCA outputs) instead of the 1/4" headphone output.

This unit would plug into the cd-changer port at the back of the head unit. You would have to disconnect the cable that is using that port now in order to use this unit.

You could just skip this altogether and use the headphone out to the RCA or your receiver. This item only works with the DM port

My headphones plug straight in. I don't think it'd be a problem, but don't know for sure. The holes lined up perfectly for everything to plug into, and the case is super thin. I'm still very happy with it.

yes....just plug it into the same plug you would use for headphones....the sound quality is AWESOME

Yes. You may need an adapter depending on your headphones. I got an adapter for something like $3.

It depends on the quality of your CD player. An external DAC may improve the sound quality over that of the DAC built into your CD player. The CD player should have some type of "digital out" which bypasses your CD's DAC and sends it to the external DAC.

That was my biggest question. Yes you can. Just need a headphone-to-RCA cable/adapter, and that plugs into your headphone jack

Yes you can but it won't be as loud as you want it to be, perhaps if your headphones are easy to drive then it'll be good enough. I do this myself via rca to 3.5mm interconnect. It sounds really good but not loud enough.

It can work for that, well sorta. It's purpose is to extract a line out signal to connect to an amplifier (like a fiio e5, e6, ect.) or a stereo system. It outputs a line level signal without any volume control, so your headphones will play quietly because the signal isn't amplified.

Yes use an auxiliary cord that plugs into the headphone jack of the CD player then the other end plugs into the auxiliary input that is located under the middle compartment on the front of the unit. The auxiliary cord has a headphone jack on each end. (Aux cord)

No. It is a relatively inexpensive boombox to play CDs and audio input via jack. Two annoyances about it: There is a slight quick fade in at the start of each track. And the buttons push hard, but it doesn't way much, so on a smooth surface, just pressing play or skip moves the whole thing a bit on that side.

Yes. You can enter into 'CD' mode, mount a CD, select 'CD Player' and using the rotary encoder wheel highlight a track to start playing from that track. The CD will continue to play until the last track has played. Output is at the RCA line outs and headphone jack. The Master volume does not control the output to the line outs.

Only if your CD has a built in amplifier. There has to be an amplifier between the CD and the Pyle unit.
