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.

I guess I missed the OP follow up question.  I am not sure if he still uses the site, perhaps he will get this in his email feed.
  Speakers depend on many factors.  Room size and synergy with other components, whether a subwoofer will be used, and others.  Perhaps the OP found his way to the Speaker Forum.
