I have recently sold my AV receiver which I used the pre outs on to this Power amp


I'm wondering if ther was a way I could use my oppo HA2 portable DAC in place of my Av receiver to the power amp above?





The Oppo Ha2 doesn't have any networking features, but is there a Bluetooth dongle that could be attached to it as well? So I could play music from my phone.

You can connect the HA2 using the line out into the amp's RCA unbalanced inputs to use it as a DAC. You'll need a 3.5mm jack to 2 RCA cable.

As for the possibility of adding a Bluetooth device, I don't think it's possible to use the HA2 with a Bluetooth device, unless as just a headphone amp. You can't use the HA2 as a DAC with a Bluetooth receiver, because receiver dongles output analogue. Connecting the HA2, then to the stereo amp, would be pointless.

You'd need a Bluetooth device with digital output in order to use the HA2 as a DAC. While there might be some devices that can do this, the problem is that the HA2's digital input is USB only. Any Bluetooth device which outputs via digital connection to which a DAC can be connected, will more than likely be SPDIF.
