External DAC with a receiver

Hi just had a quick question. Are you able to use your external dac with an AVR?

I have an oppo 105 and a Marantz sr6009. My preamp no longer works and was hoping to use the Marantz as preamp only.
Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    As long as it has a digital output (e.g., coax), yah, sure, you betcha!

    I don't see any digital output or passthrough (?) But I do see a passel of analog preamp outputs. :) EDIT: You do have HDMI output(s), though.

    But what preamp that you have doesn't work? Not that in the Marantz, I hope! :#
    Something will need to work.

    Alternatively, you can get digital output from the Oppo, yes?

    Thank you for this information. I’m going to give this a try.

    I have a T+A p 1230 r I bought super cheap years ago otherwise would have been way more than I normally I would be able to afford. I bought an B&K 7250 yesterday to switch from a Theta intrepid.

    The issue with the preamp is that it makes a real loud noise when connecting to the preout. whats weird is if a put a bunch of pressure on the rca cable itll work. i tried several cables.

    another weird question could I concert the headphone out to RCA?

    Loose connection on the cable connector. I am naive of this preamp; balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs?

    No it was optional but it does not have it

    That worked thankfully. Thanks again for the help I know now how to hook it up to the Marantz when needed.

    You can also use RCA analog cables from the DAC to analog inputs on the AVR.
