Can I connect this to my old Sony STR-DE545 power amplifier? It has AUX/CD/MD in, but no LINE in. Also, what is the meaning of D/A Direct?

Aux is "line in", always. D/A stabds for Digital/Analog Direct means "the pure Data", no alteration/aplification. You will need to connect the D/A Direct to Aux.' Best do all this with none of the parts pluged in. In 99.999% of cases nothing happends when pluged in though. Just fir safty of your system.

P.S.Your old power-Amp has no high-res capabilitys I gues?So you will lose the benefits if your new system.

Hi John Mak,Yes,you can connect your STR-DE545 to this device using the D/A Direct.The D/A DIRECT·LINE OUT jacks directly output analog signals through the D/A converter without using anyinternal connectors or signal switchers. This eliminates as many elements that reduce the sound quality as possible.You can use the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as a D/A converter by connecting it to an external amplifier. Thanks. >Joffrey

John,You can connect the line out of the HAPS1/B into your STRDE545 through any analog input. The D/A Direct setting eliminates any additional processing of the signal.Eric C

The amp has four pair of RCA Stereo jacks on the rear and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack on the front, for a total of five inputs. Provided the receiver has the ability to output to another amp or device this should not be a problem. As an alternative, if the receiver has a headphone jack, you could make a direct connection to the 'Aux-In' jack on the front of the amp. Finally, I imagine that the receiver must have speaker output terminals which could easily be attached to some old RCA cables and connected to a pair of the rear inputs.

Easy. All you need is to connect the RCA output jacks to the input jacks in the back of your amplifier. Only need the RCA cable and connect to Aux or CD input. There is a digital output in the back and if you have it you can connect the digital out to the digital in on you amplifier. All you'll need is a digital optical cable.

You should be able to. From your CD analog out, you can connect to the E17's aux (amp only). From your CD optical out, you can connect to the E17 optical in which will utilize both the E17's DAC and amp. I don't know which will sound better.

There is a junction under the seat . Unplug the junction and insert the supplied splice and reconnect the junction . The splice has a spot for power to the amp. This for A HD

Not sure. I also noted the firmware issue and was having problems with my unit. I gave it away and bought a Sony DH550. Sony works great but doesn't have a digital audio optical out for my Sony digital surround sound headphones (even though it has 2 digital audio inputs???). I use the PS3 instead.

I had the same problem. Sony STRDE985 home theater receiver. Wanted to hook up my wireless speakers to use as the rear surrounds, but I only have speaker terminals, not direct outputs. So, I found an adapter at www.connectworld.net that you use with the RCA adapter that came with the speakers. The adapter from connectworld has a female RCA plug on one end, and two speaker wires on the other end. You will need two of these units. They cost 4 bucks a piece, plus shipping. I just ordered them, so I haven't received them yet to know if that is the solution to my problem. Hard to imagine that it WOULDN'T be, though. I had the same problem.

"Big D" is correct. The CDP-CE500 is *only* a CD player, not an amplifier. These are not powered speakers (they do not have a built-in amplifier), which means they require an external amplifier (such as the STRDH130). If you bought powered speakers, the CD player could plug direct into them.

I have a denon myself.. If you have an aux switch you may be able to use your receiver.., If not get a pre amp.. This turn table is awesome.. i highly recommend it.. Best value out there..

All 3 inputs are RCA, just pick one :) Just because it says "CD" or "Aux" doesn't specifically mean you must use that device, RCA is RCA. However, I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. Mine died (non smoking house, didn't overheat or push it too far) within 1 month of use. I decided to go with the Dayton Audio APA150, which has been a workhorse since day 1 with no issues and much better consumer ratings than this Pyle of junk. Happy hunting.

This preamp takes the input from the turntable and makes the signal compatible with inputs to amps that don't have a phono input. So, if you plug it into a CD input it should work just fine. It is analog, so it is up to your receiver (in your case the sound bar) to figure out what to send to the sub - which it should be able to do.

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.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path. Based on that, it has digital inputs (2 digital optical, 2 digital coaxial, 1 AES/ EBU, and 1 USB) and no analog inputs. So unfortunately you would not be able to run an analog input into the DAC. If your SACD player does have one of the digital ports, you can connect it out of the CD player into the XDA-2. If you are wanting to run the XDA-2 into the SACD player I am unaware if that is possible, you will need to check with your SACD player manufacture to confirm. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope you have a great rest of the day.

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (&gt;100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

I'd start by just plugging right into your receiver and see how you like the sound. some receivers have decent headphone amps, others have horrid ones. I don't know your model, but my Yamaha has the horrid type unfortunately. if you find you don't like the sound, be it too muffled, thin, or lifeless, then add an amp. there are many you can add. I run mine on a schiit vali and I love the pairing. the schiit magni is a good amp as well, more versatile than the vali. there is the jds labs o2 amp, and many many more. you'll need a line out from your receiver though. I was shocked to learn mine did not have any line level outs, so I had to run an optical out to an optical dac, and connect my headphone amp to the dac.

Hey Geron, you can't use that turntable with new receivers. Older receivers had a phono preamp but not the new stuff. There is a headphone jack that you could hook up a speaker to, but I wouldn't suggest it. The jack is a large one, so cables could be an issue. I would get an inexpensive surround sound receiver to link it up. Email me at tundrausher@yahoo.com if you have more questions. Good luck.

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.
