First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship

I have received the 006 almost a week ago and have been breaking it in. The price at Shenzhenaudio is $3,900.00 USD, $600 more than the 005. The ad copy states:

"DA006 is a new generation of flagship DAC developed by Musetec over three years and launched in 2024. During this period, it has undergone more than ten revisions and adjustments.

Compared to the previous DA005, the listening experience of DA006 has been improved in all aspects. DA006 has clearer and richer details, a stronger sense of texture, a more stable sound base, better detail control, a wider soundstage, fuller and more powerful, smoother and more natural. . ."

Some brief listening during break in has been very very positive. I will report back when it has run at least 300 hours.

sns,  Thank you for your thoughts and in depth reviews as things evolve.

  I have owned an 004 for 4 years and have had many other dacs and always keep the 004. It's a great DAC especially at it's price point. I've been looking for a used 005.  I have found the I2S input out of my inexpensive Xingcore USB to I2S converter input by my windows Jriver PC to be superior to straight USB to the 004. I Will look into the Gaia but also seeking the 005. Is the 005 a worthwhile step up from the 004?  Thanks again for your time and effort with the reviews.
