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.

Welcome.
Streaming only sounds best on a dedicated streamer.  You could set up a Ras Pi3 that would USB Qobuz for $50.
And a LOT of work.
As long as you are streaming from a phone or computer whatever sounds better to you is.....One thing for sure, DACs can not increase incoming resolution.  No how.
