New audio setup?

Thanks imhifiman and auxinput.
So, I couldn't use the Schiit Freya (as the preamp) connected to the CD input on the Yamaha?
I already have an Onkyo TX-NR686 but thought a dedicated 2ch amp would sound better.

Ok, so if I changed the Yamaha A-S201 for the Schiit Vidar this will work well?
Then I could add a second Vidar later when funds permit for a balanced setup yeah?

I appreciate the input guys but seriously confused with all the talk of also needing a phono stage when I already have a preamp (Schiit Freya). Why do I need two preamps?
Roberjerman, interesting idea running through the Yamaha tape out and into the Freya but could you please explain the whole setup?

Hi firstnot, I assure you that I'm not playing with the forum. I may come off short & to the point but that's just who I am and if my questions just sound too ridiculous to be real... Sorry they're real.
With all the reading I've done and YouTube videos I've watched reviewing products, none have taken the time to actually break down what each component does. All I ever heard from people is that you just need three things to listen to records - the player, pre-amp and 2ch amp. Turns out that's not entirely accurate.

Anyway I just want to thank everyone here for the helpful advice, especially auxinput for breaking it down for me.

I've now ordered - 
MANI PHONO PREAMP
+
VIDAR POWER AMPLIFIER

Kahlenz - Thanks for the redundant advice.
Also if your first contact in a conversation starts with arrogance and sarcasm, you are most certainly making a bad first impression and come off like a d**k.

If you took the time to read the entire thread, you'd know the situation has been resolved.

So I'd appreciate you keeping your 2c in your pocket.

The rest of the guys here have been respectful and provided constructive criticism to my questions.
