recording to Reel to Reel from McIntosh 5300 integrated amp

How would I accomplish this? 

If I'm playing source music (which is either from LP, radio, streaming, etc.) from the amp directly to the Reel to Reel for recording on tape, do I connect RCA cables from the pre-amp's "PREAMP OUTPUT" to the RCA recording inputs on the tape deck?

Apologies if this is basic; never done it and I'm confused because the only plausible "output" from the amp is the "PREAMP OUTPUT" which is confusingly located below the word "INPUTS" on the back of the unit. 

Thanks.

For streamed music buy a streamer. SQ through the phone is NOT worth recording.

However it would still sound better than high speed duped pre records which are discontinued.

You seem to need the amp to act as a DAC.  
Not gonna happen.
It’s a Mac.
