Use the preamp OUT of the 2226B into the Marantz power amp. Connect the RCA analog out jacks of the S9000ES to the AUX jacks of the 2226B. Connect the RCA analog OUT jacks of the Node to the TAPE jacks of the 2226B. This way everything. will run through and be controlled by the 2226B's volume/source controls.
Connections
Hello.
I have a bit of a brain freeze when it comes to connections. My dilemma is the correct cable order (connections) to use the DAC in my Marantz DVP-S9000ES SACD/CD/DVD player. I want to list my components:
Blusound Node (which has ARC, RCA, Sub Out, Analog In, Toslink in)
Marantz 2226 B Receiver (I want to attach the CD PLAYER); it has some U-connects I need to pull out, like MAIN IN).
Then, my Marantz AMP (145 WPC), with AUX IN… just a 2- channel straight amp.
THE BLUESOUND NODE, has a decent DAC, but I think the Marantz DAC may be better? Anyone have any suggestions? My MARANTZ Amp connects BALANCED OUT to RCA INTO the NODE, which operates everything. So, from my understanding, the only reason to include the integrated Marantz 2226 B, would be to integrate my Marantz CD player, which can also integrate easily via Mini analog plug, into my Bluesound Node.
Thank you
