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.

@izgmoen  I would say you will hear what has been recorded, both the good and bad. However, the overall voice of the 006 is natural but slightly warm. It won’t exaggerate bright or harsh recordings and, in a good system, it will pick up what natural ambiance exists.

@dbb so is that why people chose it over the x30? I haven't gotten to see an actual full review or first impressions of the sound of this dac in its class.

There are actually a few reviews available online now on
