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!

You need to read your marantz manual I don't think you can do what you are trying to do. According to the marantz manual it can only play from USB devices like a hard drive or flash drive that is formatted in FAT 16 or 32. 
Ah, gotcha.  You're right.  I guess there's no way to use my AK as media device with the NA6006.  Bummer.  

I am fairly new to these digital methods.   so hey, thanks for clarifying.
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.
