Newbie setup


Hello all,

I have acquired some home audio equipment that I do not know much about. Here are the items I have that I need help setting up. 
Audio Research LS2 MKII pre amp
HCA-2200 Parasound Amp. I have an assortment of nice cables as well. I am wondering how to set the system up to two speakers with the source being an Apple TV streaming device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thank you
Brandon

I use an Apple 4k tv box for most of my steaming (video and audio), even Tidal (only cd quality) isn't bad at all. 

I use the USB connection on the apple 4k tv box to an outboard DAC. that into the preamp line inputs. Alternatively i suppose you could use a DAC that takes HDMI as well. 

The Apple tv box isn't great sounding on its own. That's why i use an outboard DAC.

 I use Schiit audio DAC, they have many to chose from, its good place to start looking if your new to this. 

You ended up with some nice gear by the way.
