NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup

Hello All!
I recently created a thread asking for some help with a receiver purchase to provide the best possible stereo audio listening experience. I currently have a Denon AVR 1300W powering B&W 705 S2's and a HTM71 S2 center. After help from the forum and some research my plan down the road my plan is to purchase a Marantz receiver.
For now I decided to purchase an integrated amp and again after careful research I decided to go with a NUPRIME IDA-16.
I just received it and I have absolutely no idea how to integrate this in with my current receiver.

What exactly do I need to do to be able to set this bad boy up?

From what I understand I just need to plug RCA interconnects from my PRE-OUT (L/R) on my AVR to the IDA-16, then plug the speakers into the IDA.
Is there anything else within the Denon settings that need to be setup? Will the IDA power the left and right at all times?
Is it okay if I set my receiver on top of the amp?

Which one you plug into which will depend on which one you intend to use the most as without a doubt the DAC in the Nuprime is better than the one in the Denon.
