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!

Marantz literature for the NA6006 says that an "iPod" could be connected to front USB port. Perhaps the sample rate resolution is limited for that port - or it is expecting iPod/iPhone signaling, 

Really seems to me that it should work.

Good luck.

On Page 35 of the English version of the owner's manual ( see link above) there are instructions for directing the output to the USB port. Have you done that?

On the Marantz gear, have you selected the corresponding input for the front USB port?

Nice gear. I'm sure you are very close to enjoying it.

Good luck.
