This is my first official post, though I have read head-fi for years. I finally joined as I have a problem that I cannot seem to figure out or get any help on. I am trying to "simply" connect my first headphone amp into my Pioneer receiver (model number above). The amp is a Maverick Audio Tubemagic D1 plus DAC. I have tried everything I can think of and cannot get anything to work. I have read and read on this site and others and I cannot find the answer I need or it goes way over my head. I'm pretty decent with connecting home theater stuff, but for the life of me, I keep failing at this headphone amp thing.
All of my source material is going into the receiver using HDMI. I am not using any of the other inputs/outputs.
Anyway, I am attaching a picture of the back of my receiver and the back of the headphone amp. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts/help. Is my receiver incapable of having an amp connected? Should I connect the headphone amp directly into the receiver's headphone jack?
Thank you in advance for any help.
