Will this work with a Hafler 250watt per channel amp and a Blu-ray player to play regular CDs and .flac or MP3s and control the volume effectively?

It would work in a basic fashion. But remember it doesn't have any filtering so any switching may generate transients that could be an issue with that much amplifier power. May not be an issue if you don't intend to use the phono preamp section. Another option if you don't need the phono section is to look for a Blu-Ray player with its own level control (which may have a bonus of control via its remote). And also remember, there will be no tone control or EQ, so it better sound okay without it.

Sorry I can't answer your question. I use this as a preamp for my jukebox and turn table, to a Blu Ray home theater and it works fine.

This is a phono preamp, what you use if your preamp or receiver does not have a phono input, its for your turntable. The accessory input can be used if you don't have a sufficient number of inputs on your preamp/receiver, but there's only one extra input beyond the phono.

I use the pyramid pre-amp to control the volume on my onkyo power amp. We run our music through iTunes, not CD player but it would definitely work. You'd just need RCA jack cords. Found at places like radio shack. Hope this helps. We really love the pyramid.

It'll certainly work and work nicely. If you're looking for a lot of power you may want to consider a unit with more wattage. If you are happy with moderate volume you're certain to enjoy this amp.

Output from the Azure preamp is standard line level, so CD, Tuner, Aux will work fine.

Yes, that would work just fine as long as you have a digital out on your player. You'll get remarkably improved definition if your CD player has a typical built in DAC.

That's how I use mine. (FYI - with an older HDTV set - since the output is external - you might not be able to control the volume of the sound without adjusting the amp's control. That is a bit of a pain.)

Probably. It is an amp......what goes in will get boosted at the outputs. A lot depends on the soundbar amps gain level at the inputs you described. The odds are in your favor. Try both the CD and the TV inputs. I bet they will have different gain levels.

Yes, TTB answered very well. My Teac A-790A has served me very well in handling a CD player, turntable, and cassette deck. You will, of course, need speakers (unless you use only headphones), and this receiver allows you to use two sets of speakers--if you desire.

I use it on a Denon reliever, too. in the aux input though it should work in cd DVD or game inputs too.

I really don't know for sure. I'm guessing that it follows the SPDIF 44.1/16 standard for regular CDs, but that is just a guess. I am using to connect a CD/DVD player to an outboard DAC to play CDs and it is working fine. I don't play any higher bit rate material than CDs.

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.

Not exactly sure. I know in the old days I used to purchase a stereo amp and then run all my equipment (cassette tape, cd, record player, tv) off of it and speakers were attached as well. This has plenty good sound for tv, cd, dvd, am/fm radio. Does everything I want it to do. Just smaller than what I had in the past. Hope this answers your question.

This is a silly question. This is not an amplifier. It will play your sound file via iPhone or whatever, just as any CD player or boom box. That is a lot, and is wonderful for such a tiny device. Reader: know the X-Mini does have a wheel for volume control. It WILL play as loudly as your CD player.

Yes, I own this unit and it will work with a cd player provided you are using the correct rca inputs.

As others have stated, you will need a receiver/amp to drive it. Your choice of amp and speakers is up to you, there are several good choices out there at reasonable prices. That being said, my cd unit has served me well. I run two amps 4 pair of speakers and two subwoofers. I like my music clean and powerful

This unit connects to Preamp out so it would not be able to control the channels directly connected to the head unit. As far as power goes. it is a pass through so it doesn't care how little or how much power your system has. My setup is two Amps, one is four channels and the second is for my Subs. This unit controls them perfectly.

In short, no, these speakers will not work with a portable CD player. An amplifier can be had cheaply (about $20), though. Leipath 2020a amp may be what you need.
