If this is not too late, I use the D6 with my D5000's and I am very satisfied with the results. I also use the combination with the same music genes as you in FLAC. on a mac book pro..

This may sound a bit unorthodox to some, but; I just made my journy into Head Fi-dome and I am trying to construct a portable Ipod and 650 rig, I am thinking about the XM6 seeing that i use my Ipod and my macbook to drive my music and it seems to come with a pretty efficient dac. I am trying to...
