Hey Fuzztone, thanks for your reply. Question answered!
Qobuz through the Marantz CD6006
Hi, I'm new to Audiogon. What a cool place!
So, my question is:
I am streaming Qobuz through an IPhone 6 into a Marantz CD6006 CD player via USB. Am I getting the full benefit of the Marantz's DAC by using the USB input? Is the Marantz actually upgrading the resolution that's coming from the rather limited IPhone 6?
My ears say yes, but that could be a placebo effect.

Thanks for this replay it's helpful Upsers.com |
I don’t know anything about the Marantz, but if you have connected the phone via usb then you are probably bypassing the phones own internal DAC and using the DAC of the Marantz. Odds are significant that the Marantz DAC is of higher quality than the Apple DAC and that you will notice a significant improvement |
