A/V DACs, how exactly do they work?


I feel very silly asking this but I can't seem to find a direct answer anywhere on the internet. 

I recently purchased a yamaha 3070 as part of a package speaker deal. (I'm relatively new to audio, and have mostly just stuck to CD players diectly into stereo receivers without internal DACS.) 

Now, since this A/V receiver has an 
  • audiophile-grade 32-bit/192kHz ESS Sabre PRO Premier digital-to-analog converters for 7 main channels

How exactly would I use this internal DAC? Do i Simply run a male to male from a CD player? Or a USB to  male from my computer into andio inputs and that's it?

Don't feel silly asking questions. We all had to learn this stuff.
BTW, congrats on moving to digital music.
