Thanks, Newsee. Hopefully, I'll get something eventually; I couldn't buy another iem if the 846 was running fine. :smile_phones:

I didn't twist, and was being careful. However, one of them was stuck and I had a hard time pulling it apart. From what I can tell, the mmcx connector is possibly fine but, maybe, some connection came loose inside the shell? The left side earbud is working fine; however, there's no sound from...

How's the sound leakage on Elegias? Do you think they could be used on a train without disturbing others, and what about the size?

My MMCX end broke in the shure se846; I was trying to upgrade the cable. What a bummer! Maybe, i'll skip the whole commuting with cube for now; another iem is out of budget at the moment. However, I'm also interested in knowing good alternatives to se846 for commuting, including on the ear...

Kann Cube is even better with Beyerdynamic T1, than it is with shure 846. It's driving the t1 perfectly. Sound qualities are just the same, only this is a full size headphone compared to the iem. The power and raw texture of the sound has increased compared to 846. The double amping through 3.5...

I like the sound of cube better. It's more powerful, more raw and textured. The r6 pro wasn't bad either, but it seems like an upgrade (one would expect an upgrade given a price diff anyways). I liked the portability of the r6pro; it was a great device overall. But, the difference wouldn't be...

I haven't bought any case yet. I am pretty sure the amazon app has some buffering issues. It seems to stop randomly while playing hi-res albums, but is generally fine with lower res albums. I am not even streaming, just reading from the microsd card. Seems like some bad implementation probably...

Yeah, I figured that one of the best things I could do for SQ is to get rid of external noise. Besides, trains can be very noisy even inside the cabin. Another big benefit being that you don't have to "spend" your volume trying to cover up the noise. The cube actually arrived last night, and I...

Does amazon music keep stopping on A&K players? Or does it run fine in the background when you turn the screen off?

Thanks, Newsee; that was very helpful. Fortunately (also unfortunately), I lug a massive bag to office every day filled with whole day's food, notebooks, umbrella and what not. I also might be the only guy who wears a shure se846, and then top it up with my bose noise canceling headphones (of...

I did like the h1by r6 pro - it was fun listening to the Tchaikovsky symphony no. 5 - Mravinsky / Leningrad Philharmonic recording, one of my favs.

Finally, how much of an upgrade would Kann Cube be compared to H1by R6 Pro? Thanks

Also, maybe Astell & Kern should think of coming up with a mini-5-pin-xlr to dual RCA cable. Some home equipment doesn't have XLR inputs. My beyerdynamic A1 amp certainly has only RCA inputs. Am I missing something? Is there supposed to be some kind of a box (preamp?) sitting between the Kann...

Thinking of getting Kann Cube to use with My shure 846. I was thinking of using the cube as my commute setup and also to power my desktop rig (beyerdynamic A1 amp + beyerdynamic T1 headphones). Any thoughts? Quick Question: I have a beyerdynamic A1 headphone amp + beyerdynamic T1 headphones. A1...
