Juat the fact, that you're comparing it with 6k dac is fascinating for me!Got here yesterday afternoon! Hooked it up and at first it was a bit underwhelming. It took about an hour before it got warmed up and it made a big difference. All of a sudden everything seemed to fall into place. Did a quick comparison with my PS Audio DS Sr and yes there's a noticeable difference in favor of the DS Sr, but the D90 MQA sounds really good! The D90 seems to put every detail in focus maybe at a fractional loss of "space and air". For the price, I doubt you'd find anything much better, maybe different, but not a whole lot better.
Of course, besides MQA this dac is identical to D90. So everything d90 is good for this dac is also good for.Let's say you got the MQA model and Tidal goes away or you change to another streaming service? Would that still be a good dac for non-MQA streaming, like Qobuz?

Also if you purchase or plan on purchasing MQA albums those songs will play back on non MQA devices too.... so you can use those files on any playback device you have and if you have a MQA compliant playback device like the D90MQA thats just icing on the cake as the MQA files are decoded as Master Quality Audio... streaming on TIDAL is nice but don't forget you can also buy your own MQA files... an example is here... and there are other sources too... https://www.prostudiomasters.com/search?cs=1&q=doors#xThanks! Much appreciated.
I can't quite make out from the spec sheets if I can control the volume of the XLR outputs on the D90 MQA? It looks like a near perfect fit for my desktop, but I need volume control for my active monitors.
