Yea, looks like you could just fine. I'm pretty sure these are standard line outs. But personally I would opt for a seperate DAC (like the D10 as you said).

There is a volume knob that controls the volume coming out of the line-outs. Do you know how I should set this volume in order that the internal amplifier of the Yamaha does not interfere with getting the best sound quality out of the Atom?

Do you know perhaps whether the sound quality of the Yamaha DAC is comparable to external DACs such as the D10?

The sound quality would likely be just fine. Using variable line outs is not ideal running into the amp. Fixed is better. Just buy a DAC and then you don't need to worry about it.
