Line out is bypassing the amp stage of the M6. The DAC is converting to analogue and then handing off to your XD05 to amplify.
USB would be digital signal transfer hand off to the XD05 to convert to analogue and then amplify.

You could use your phone through usb and it would likely sound the exact same as the M6 through usb.

Hope this helps
