I understand the resistance against disabling the screen swipe volume thing as it nullifies what A&K engineers might consider "feature", but the volume warning pop up in 1.21 is still inadequate for protection, as that warning only appear once, and you get somewhere above 70 in volume (which...

I swear this is my final 2cents on this matter: I haven't seen anyone who actually own SE6 and say it's so-so, nor anyone who own SE6 and suggest me something better. But then again, 1. No one buys SE6 so those people don't exist anyway, and 2. We're SE6 owners supposedly have to love what we...

Interesting claim on SE6 not handling fast and complicated track. SE6 work fine for me (I listen to quite a healthy number of jittery kawaii edm andsome speed metal). But then again I dont own the se5 and I dont have the same hearing as you do. Do you have a suggestion iem for those genre so I...

Im not in jail, I just got tired of being called crazy and fueling the price hike everytime I write I own a pair of SE6 or any review at all. Beside, I am so content with my purchase that I dont bother checking out all the new IEMs that came out since the SE6. My experience with the company has...

At this point I wonder if we could get our hands on the sp2k before Christmas :beyersmile:

This is a question as old as time, but has A&K ever admitted to tuning their SS and Cu DAPs differently soundwise ? I was told my monitor is a bit dark and should be paired with the supposedly brighter SS version and bright silver cable, but I saw a lot of review endorsing the Cu version. I...

Does anyone know a North American site that's still open for preorder? I'm late and Moon Audio has closed their preorder :(

Sorry for digging up the grave, but now I need balanced cable for my SE6. Anyone have prior success pairing their SE6 with A&K DAP and can recommend me a cable/cable maker? Thanks in advance.

Yes sir/madam...

Sorry for the late review, everytime I pick up the keyboard and begin to write, I see all the bashing post on head-fi regarding the price and thought "why bother... the prejudice against the price is already too much that no degree of review would convince people otherwise anyway". The second...

Everytime I put on the SE6 and prepared to write a review, I just kept on listening and then forgot about writing the review... The SE6 has created a huge time sink in my life lately.

Yes, emerald green ! :dt880smile:

I just went through a few test songs with this baby and I'm ready to quit head fi for 5 years. J/k, let me listen some more beforewriting a review.....

Items that are above $2000 in value has to go through formal import entry... I.e delay. damn, this is karma for lashing out in earlier post I guess..

1. Is it a right thing to terminate ownership transfer? It's an understandable position. When it takes you two month to complete an order, spending your time working on reshelling is not an option. 2. How you you manage things differently? Train more apprentice, but then, this should have been...

"Sanity is for the weak"

Hmm... interesting... I ordered a pair of emerald green SE6 in August and it's about to be shipped out... Hmmm Edit: just got some photo of my SE6, different from Mim's, but it's also emerald green.

My pair is near completion. And I believe mine was among the earliest orders. Took 2 months. I'll post some comparisons when it's in my hand.

SE6 comes with a Hi Res (looks like vanilla silver) cable. It is suggested that you don't change that cable since it may hurt the sound signature. In warranty section, warranty is void if the problem is caused by aftermarket cable. Also, I read from SE5U thread that: 1. SE cable pins are a bit...

I agree, no ownership transfer is what hurts the most as there is no recovery if you happens to dislike the sound signature (it's a matter of taste). But then again, the reason is SE has no resource to support it right now when they have a new model out. Between now and the next model release...

Exactly, it's a vote. And I respect anyone's decision to boycott high price items and hope that such respect would be reciprocated. In the end, if there are not enough people buying it, price will drop. It just got uncomfortable when the attack is not on the issue, but on the people whom you...

Oh I am buying the SE6 alright. Too much or okay is not just about the price, it's the value vs price game. If you value it more than it costs, and you can afford it, then buying it is an option. If you think the cost exceeds the value it brings to you, or you just plainly can't afford it...

I second that, through my correspondence with him he is an honorable person in my book. People just bash something they haven't heard and someone they haven't had interaction with is just how it is these day. But this need to be said.

To me affordability is not elastic. I either can afford it or I don't, it's not stretched by selling me an advertised 5k product at 3k price. If that dick move works for some, I have bad news for them going forward in life. Price is what you pay, value is what you receive in return. 5k put its...
