I plan on connecting the TT and CD player to the pre-amp and the out to the CD receiver jacks. Would the aux path be amplified or just pass-through?

The AUX is an isolated line level pass through. The pre-amp is only connected to TT to raise the weak phono cartridge signal to a line level signal. This set-up reduces the number of inputs required on your reciever or power amp since many do not offer a phono input anymore.

Keep in mind that phono (turntables) inputs normally need to be amplified verses a cassette, CD, etc... I believe you would need to use a receiver that would allow a by-pass for an EQ. You maybe able to route this from your turntable, to EQ and then to a MAC/PC using sound software too.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

The TC-753LC AUX input has unity (zero) gain. Our TC-780LC line preamp (Amazon ASIN B004RYMYUO) is the product you are looking for, providing up to 20dB gain.

you would just use a set rca analog cables to hook it up to your preamp, but you have 2 volume controls. how about just hooking up your CD player via the analog outputs to this headphone amp if this is your source of music or if you have another DAC just hook it up the same way and bypass your preamp.... I had a preamp with no headphone jack so I did the same for awhile then I just use the headphone with my CDP. though if you try to hook up a turn table phono amp to headphone amps there always seem to pick up a hum or some noise the you could hear.

Obviously the answer is yes. One thing I will add is that the line output is 2 volts so it can pick up more noise than a 4V out. In my case, switching from an older CD player with 4V out to this 2V out was a huge difference in sound quality even after I had set my amp up accordingly. That's about the only detracting thing I've found about this unit.

Yes. I have a TT hooked up to mine. AUX input. Had the receiver for about 6 months now with no problems. If you have an older turntable and have to turn up the volume all the way to hear anything, then you also will need one of these PYLE-PRO PP444 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp

Let me briefly tell you how I hook up my DAC.Mac mini optical out -optical cable-> DAC optical input and then analog out -RCA cable-> preamp analog input -> ATC SCM20 powered speaker input (XLR)Of course, you can connect your CD player similar way. The analog (RCA) out from DAC to the RCA input of your integrated amp.

Aux! Phono pre amps boost the signal to regular line level. If you plug it into phono it will be very loud and may blow speakers.

If you take "line out" from the Teac and plug it into "line in" on your CD recorder OR take "line out" from your amplifier into which you've plugged the Teac and plug that into "line in" on your CD recorder, I see no reason it shouldn't work. You could probably use a splitter in the "line out" jacks so that you could send the signal to someplace else (i.e.: your tuner or your speakers) and to the Teac but check the owner's manuals to make sure the impedances match (and if this is Greek to you, visit the Web site at http://www.regiscoyne.com/tech/spk_cab_wiring/). It shouldn't be any different than hooking the Teac up to your amplifier or headphones. If still in doubt, consult with Radio Shack. Most stores have someone who's pretty knowledgeable and willing to answer questions about components other than just the ones they sell.

Yes, there's a 3.5mm jack on the back that you can connect a proper cable (likely with RCA phono plugs on the other end) to connect to your disk player or stereo. I don't know whether direct connnecting a turntable will give you enough signal without a pre-amplifier. Good luck!

Hi MaddieLike most cd players, this unit has to plug into a receiver with it's own amplification (what your a.m./f.m./cd unit probably serves as) or a separate amp. If your receiver has a place for another accessory on the back with two phono plug inputs, such as for a turntable or it might just say input, then you can plug this changer into those and then there should be a corresponding setting on the front buttons that will switch the input to where you plugged it in on the back of the receiver unit. In this case, the output to the speakers will still be limited to the amplification of your receiver, so it won't affect the speakers.

Yes, this is just a CD deck with pre-amp. You must plug it into an amplifier.

That would work just fine. CD player into dac using coax (assuming CD player has coax, otherwise spdif), dac into amp using rcas. You would be bypassing the CD players dac for the bifrost.

I have mine between my separate preamp and amp. Not knowing your equipment, I would suggest putting it on a tape monitor if you have one. Otherwise, I would put it between the CD player and the receiver. You just need RCA cables. It'll take 1/4" unbalanced cables too. Let me know if you need more help or more about what it ACTUALLY does.

This is a "component " for a stereo system. You hook it into a receiver, an integrated amplifier, or pre-amp - amplifier system. Not to sound like an audio snob or anything, but if you will be satisfied with the sound of an "all-encompassing CD player" then this high-end player is way overkill. On the other hand, it's a great machine and if it's at a good price you can't go wrong buying it now and plugging it into any low-end amplified speaker system today and upgrading later. Best wishes.

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.
