I would like to hook a headphone amp to the output of this CD player, can you use a DAC amp since I think the player already has an internal DAC. Tx

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

Thanks for your question. You may come out of the digital out to an external DAC of significantly better quality than the internal one to improve the sound quality of the machine. This is a fantastic sounding player. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

This is only an amp. If your CD player supports HDCD then this will amplify it.

No, the high-level inputs of the amp will drop the wattage down from your cd player to an acceptable low level input, so you will still just get the amplifier's rated output

Easy. Just connect the audio cables from the output on the DAC to one of the inputs on the amp. I kept my CD connected to the CD inputs on amp, and my DAC is connected to the tuner inputs. That way I can switch back and forth.

No...There are no digital connections on the amp, it is analog only (RCA, the red and white). Your CD player will most likely have the red and white connection. My CD player is connected via the RCA's and it sounds very good. The RCA's should be good quality. I'm using AudioQuest (the green ones) and they work well. Hope this helps?

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.

Probably not. I use mine with a wireless DAC that definitely has a high enough output level. Most modern electronics like a CD player would be fine. Of course, if you have a turntable, you will need a phono preamp.

I use a Monoprice cable RCA to 3.5 mm male headphone size connector. With that cable, I hooked up an old dvd player with RCA output to my cmoy headphone amp, then plug the speakers' 3.5 mm connector into the output of the headphone amp. I think you would need to use a headphone amp or reciever to control the output, because it would be too much power from the device to plug it into the auxillary connection on the speakers. It works great with the amp, I use the dvd player to play cd's.

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)

An external CD player? Sure. Why not? I assume that it has an RCA output. Use the included adapter and connect it into the AUX input on the soundbar.

You can connect the analog outputs of the Marantz 5004 cd player directly into most headphone amps to drive appropriate cans. The headphone amp will have to have sufficient input impedance and a gain control and have sufficient output to drive the cans in question. For what it is worth, the headphone amp built into the Marantz will drive my Sennheiser HD 600s w/o problems but YMMV.

As everyone has pointed out already, no, this is only a DAC and you cannot directly plug your headphones into this unit. If you do not want to buy a separate amp, HRT makes a product called the "Microstreamer" that is both a DAC AND a headphone amp. You can read more about it if you do a search. (I do not work for HRT).

I suppose. It's not really meant for that. It's purpose is to take one analog signal and split it into two. For example, if your receiver has one subwoofer output, but you want to drive two subs. Personally, I would not use it to connect the digital RCA style output from your CD player to your digital RCA style input on your DAC.

More than likely not. The CD player has it's own internal DAC. The external DAC is used to bypass the lower quality sound card in your laptop, desktop, iPhone, iPod, other digital source converting the digital signal to analog giving the user a higher quality signal to amplify.

This amp uses line level input which is 1.7Vpp nominal. The same signal that your home stereo CD player would output(as an example. You cannot connect the input of this amp to the speaker terminals of your device. The amp would be damaged from the power level out put of the speaker terminals. If you must use the speaker of your existing system to power this amp you must get a SPEAKER LEVEL-ATTENUATOR/MATCHING device. This will convert the 8ohm speaker impedance to 10K ohms and the provide limiting so that the output would not exceed 2vpp. You can et such devices on Amazon and they are not expensive.

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.

Hello Oscar,You are completely right.You can surely conect any externa source of sound , you just need RCA outputs at your source device or any kind of output with the adapter cable.I have my audio player connected with the "mini jack" to RCA cable and it works great, so your CD player will work as well.Hopefully you will have as much fun with this "baby", as I have. GREAT sound .Regards.Marek
