Clip light coming on subwoofer amp

A USB oriented box particularly why?

Oops. Wrong link. I meant to send you this pic. It has RCA connectors. Why wouldn't a small mixer work? I have a Behringer Eurorack UB802 sitting on the shelf gathering dust. Wouldn't it act as a suitable preamp? It has RCA inputs and 1/4 inch outs.

Depends on its capabilities, I suppose. I was wondering about the lack of unbalanced inputs

Good point. I just found the manual online. Here is a screen shot of its output. Looks like it might work. Can I damage anything by trying it out?

If it works, it would also solve the cabling issue, which is kind of jury rigged at the moment. To connect the output of the Denon to the input of the Yamaha, I'm using an RCA > RCA cable with one end containing an RCA female to 1/4 inch male, Radio Shack adapter, which is 35 years+ old! Not optimal but it seems to work.
