Hello all,
Whats the best way to do this?
Connect the amp to a recording output?
Any advice appreciated!

I would say the RCA jacks marked 1.Hello all, What's the best way to do this? Connect the amp to a recording output? Any advice appreciated!
Many thanks for responding just need to consider what to buy now!Yup, that would be the best way, and it should give you a nice line-level output to your headphone amp!
What is the make and model of your headphones?Many thanks for responding just need to consider what to buy now!
Currently in use on the amp are Behringer BH470's (not high end) I've read the amp's headphone out quality is not the best so was trying to improve.What is the make and model of your headphones?
I would assume the Yamaha's headphone jack would be fine for headphones in the 100-Ohm to 250-Ohm range.
I don't want to create a new thread for this but it's related to AS501 so hope I can ask! I have tried twice to connect my Dac (SMSL M200) to the AS501 and it doesn't seem to recognize it. I have tried 2x2 RCA cables (into Stereo/Photo ports) and 2x1 RCA cable (into Digital Coax) and I can't get any sound, the colour on the front of the amp board stays orange which makes me think it's not even recognizing it as a source. Any help would be appreciate I am £40 deep into cables right now that aren't working
Analogue inputs like phono won't have lights to indicate it is receiving a signal. It is analogue; plain and simple. The light will just be to confirm what input is selected.
Your method of using a phono to double phono cable (some do call them RCA too, but the more general term is phono cable) won't work. As you are coming from an analogue output on your M200 to a digital input as labeled on your AS-501. You will need an expensive analogue to digital converter for this to work and you don't even need it that to get sound.
Your other method should work now I have seen the picture. Just want to check everything including incredibly basic things.
What is your input device? You said M200 bluetooth in the other thread. Is this the only input method you use? Yes, it is connect to my phone and showing bitrate and i have voume turned up on phone and playing music
Do you know for certain that your M200 is receiving this signal? Yes
When you use the Phono to Phono cable (which is the correct method), have you certainly selected the CD source input on your AS-501? Yes, as you can imagine i tried all of them at this point
Have you tried many other inputs such as the 3 line inputs (not the two labeled record, they are an output for recording what is going into that input) Yes
The digital inputs on most devices do have a light that glows or changes colour when it receives a signal and I think your AS-501 would also do this if it got fed a digital signal. But your M200 only has Analogue outputs.
Simple methods to confirm things are working would be to briefly use an incredibly basic and common cable (3.5mm to phono cable) and use your phone/tablet/music player to your AS-501 and test the inputs to confirm that this amplifier works. Or even a 3.5mm to phono female adapter to put on the end of your twin phono to phono cable to test if that cable is faulty. thank-you i just ordered the correct jack adaptor for the front of the amp so i can test this out- there is no 3.5mm at the back i can use to do this test
