I've just had a look at the back of that amp and i am not sure you can use it as a power only amp.
If you are looking to use it as two channel only, then you will need a power amp.
you can use my pioneer as a temp solution, if you need to

he'll be fine...https://www.cyrusaudio.com/support/other-resources/legacy-products/power-amplifiers/xpa/
They stripped out all the features of the Cyrus Power (mono-bridging, external PSU, XLR connections, MC bus) but left auto sensing in.
Here's the back of the Power for comparison

Silver, I would have preferred black, but hey ho!
I'm not sure how using the Onkyo as a power amp will work. I'll have to set it to max volume and use one of the RCA inputs. It has a "pure audio" function which bypasses surround sound processing, so I'll use that.
I have also realised that my Sony DVD player (not been used in a long time) is also an SACD player. I will bang that into the Cyrus DAC and see how it sounds, for shits and giggles.
