Quick question: How to connect AK70 to an external DAC (Marantz NA6006)

Hey guys,

This might be a silly question but I am struggling to connect my AK70 (use as source) to my Marantz DAC.  I tried a Micro USB to USB A input on my marantz but nothing seems to work.  I tried switching AK70 to Line Out but still no luck.

Am I missing something or is it not possible to use AK70 as a source & plug it into an external DAC?

Please help, thanks!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for pointing me to the manual, now I understand the functionality better. And thanks, I am really digging my new system (I have the NA6006 connected to PM8006 amp and Dali Opticon 2 speakers. It may not be hifi but I am very pleased with the performance.

Anyway, even when i followed the instructions (connect AK70 Micro USB to Marantz USB A) and press the USB icon as the manual says, Marantz doesn’t recognize anything. AK70 does say its become a media device. So I am not sure what I am missing.

Ah, gotcha.  You're right.  I guess there's no way to use my AK as media device with the NA6006.  Bummer.  

I am fairly new to these digital methods.   so hey, thanks for clarifying.
