Hi Hi-fi enthusiast,
After a lot of research have finally settled down on my integrated audio setup which fits within my budget, the setup will be pairing music streamer yamaha wxc-50 with Denon PMA1520ae. I would like to hear your expert suggestions on the below queries.
1) Yamaha WXC can be switched between "player" and "preamplifier" mode. If I switch it to "player" mode, the unit will outputs audio at maximum volume, additionally the volume is disable on the unit. So can I connect the pre out of the Yamaha unit to the AUX in of Denon since I assume there is no preamplification done on Yamaha or shall I input pre out to Denon's "Power Amp Direct In"(This will bypass the preamplification of the Denon's circuit).
Basically want Yamaha to be just a streamer and not a preamplifier
Any suggestion please
