Only one DAC is active at a time, so you have 3 choices:
1) Run the analog out from your CD into an analog RCA input on your Marantz. Use the stand alone DAC as a paper weight. The DAC in your CD player is the only active DAC in this chain.
2) Run digital out from your CD player into a digital input on the Marantz, leave the stand-alone DAC atop the stack of paper. The DAC in the Marantz is the only active DAC in this chain.
3) Fetch the stand alone DAC from the papers. Run digital out of your CD player into the digital input on your stand alone DAC. Run the analog output from your DAC into an analog RCA input on your Marantz. The stand alone DAC is the only active DAC in this chain.
Compare the 3 options and choose the one you like best.
Good Luck
