All you need is an extra pair of interconnects to make it work. Disconnect i/c's from CD player to amp and connect those to the FX Audio output, then add a pair of i/c's from CD player output to FX Audio input. To effectively turn the integrated into a power amp stage then it's a simple case of cranking up the integrated amps volume to maximum and use the FX Audio's volume control only.
CD player = Marantz CD6006
DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
Power amp = ADA PF201
Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6
