Can I hook up my external DAC to this amp ? If so what the best input to use ?

Thanks for your question. You may connect a DAC using either the coaxial or optical digital inputs. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

Any DAC will do fine. I have mine hooked up to my Fiio E07k. One could also plug it directly into the PC's headphone line out as well.

Hello! It is USB and I don't think it connects directly into a normal amp. However it's output can be routed through one via your sound card.

No, its strictly a DAC. You connect the output to a headphone amp, preamp, receiver etc.

The RCA inputs are only analog, not digital (e.g. S/PDIF) so the DAC only runs via USB.

Yes it will work, you are 'double-amping' however. A different option would be to get a DAC connected through USB or the optical out of the 3.5mm jack of the air and then into AMP.

Yes using RCA, there are three RCA inputs that can be used for any external audio source.

Yes... line-out of DAC to preamp-in (or any of the line-level inputs) on your receiver.

It is a digital coaxial output then it has to be connected to an external dac

You can use the aux input. You'll need good speakers or else the amp will just make the music rough and distorted.

You can buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K2TXMO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details and hook it up to your stereo red/white input cables like these http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-RCA-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000UZ66YY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321326192&sr=1-5 Thats what I do - but you've probably already figured this out by now. Thanks

Yes, DAC out to AMP in, but remember, this DAC does not have volume knob so volume needs to be set in your computer.

I think DAC of this Item is not so good, your idea is good. There is a digital output.

this device is analog. any dac that puts out an analog output of sufficient strength should work.

Thanks for your question. There are various ways to connect these and connection with your DAC. Please download the owners manual from the manufacturer's site and go over it carefully. THese are amazing sounding speakers.

No, you can´t bypass the internal preamps, but you can use the SPDIF or ADAT IN to connect an external preamp with A/D converter.

you would connect an XLR cable from the MAIN OUT on the board to the input(s) on your amp. If your amp doesnt have XLR inputs, then you will need to buy an adapter or new cables. You could alternatively connect the amp with the 1/4 in output from the MONITOR or HEADPHONES, you could also connect it to the OUT on the RCA.
