iDAP-6 should work with Nuprime DAC-9 via AES, coaxial and USB Audio.
If you are using this player as digital transport with SD card or USB storage (harddisk, thumbdrive, or card readers), the iDAP-6 will work and sound tremendously well, you can read the impression from John (Project86) on page 1 of this thread, he compared the iDAP-6 to other players and some of them are really expensive.
If you are using it as a wireless transport through BT, airplay etc, it won't sound as good as the local storage option but it is as good as you can expect.
Unfortunately if you want to use it as a Network or DLNA player, the quality of playback is well-received but the player suffers from some operation issues such as no manual WiFi Setup (unable to work with hidden network), fail to remember the password of NAS (re-enter repeatedly).
If you want to use Tidal or Spotify with iDAP-6, you can use a DLNA player with cloud/streaming gateway. BubbleUPnP seems to the most popular choice so far.
The player is not MQA or ROON ready, but someone use it with their ROON server and works fine
Thank you @Andykong ...for this info.
Yes, I have all music on HDD (FLAC and WAV) so this will be good combination with DAC-9.
And TIDAL via DLNA is also OK.
