Welcome to the forum...
You are likely to get reduced sound quality if you add a DAC to your music chain.
PC -> DAC (with MQA unfold) -> ADC (analog to digital/optical converter) -> Phantom Gold
Note that many of Tidal MQA tracks sound better because they are derived from better master recordings. So, a comparison on tracks on Tidal can be misleading. Suggest using tracks such as these to do proper comparison
