BGVP discussion thread DM7/ DM6/DMG and NEW BA series
Dec 6, 2019 at 3:00 AM Post #4,636 of 5,353
I sold my DM6 and DM7 recently. Not because I had any issues with them, I was quite fond of them both, but I found their successor in the Hyla TE5B triple hybrid IEMs. The Hylas have that crisp high end that I appreciated from the BGVP's, but with better mid range. With it's dynamic driver it just punches harder than either of the DM6/7 could making for an extremely detailed and still very fun IEM. Granted they TE5B's cost more than the 2 BGVP's I had combined so I understand if it's not for everyone. I am still watching BGVP though to see if they do a triple hybrid BA + Electrostatic + Dynamic. That's something I'd love to see.

Okay so i hear quite a few people saying they have moved on to X or Y is so much better than DM6.

I bought my DM6 for around $150 on 11/11 AliExpress sale.

So what beats it today with a noticeable margin in quality and similar price range ?

archy, DM6 is still my baby. Its a rabbit hole this hobby. The relentless pursuit to find THE iem is what I avoided. There is always gonna be another piece out in the market too good to pass up. Added a Blon 03(DD) to my DM6(all BAs) and I am done with iems.
ISN H40 might be the new $200 king fellas... Just received it and I am pretty certain it will dethrone my beloved DM6...

Great you have found something that is worthy the crown. Did you you swap the standard cables on the H40 ? Tried DM6 in Balance ?

My FIIO BTR5 arrived yesterday which was purchased for a few reasons including 2.5mm balance out. I was at last able to use the also newly purchased custom UPOCC Litz cable with the DM6 in a Balanced setup.

Immediately I felt the sound was more intimate and holographic in soundstage presentation. Bass was more full and punchy, mids more forward and full sounding and the highs remained sparkly and detailed.

This is my first experience of using a balanced earphone cable setup and it turned out to be a very positive one. I feel the DM6 have just been given a big boost by the balance setup and they have become more musical overall.
I ended up listening to lots of tracks for a few hours until the BTR5 battery finally ran out.

I’m sure that the Balance out is the biggest contributor to the musical improvement as when I used regular jack on the BTR5 the music lost its extra new life. The cable is highly recommended by Hakuzen for producing textured low bass and a dark background with improved soundstage. Im sure that it’s also contributing to the sound signature.

Seems I had correctly suspected that areas other than the DM6 were the weaker link in my portable audio setup. Buying upgrades rather than yet another new earphone has been the right move.

Listening was done using the LG v30 as source connected to BTR5 over BT in highest quality LDAC mode. I didn’t have the correct cable to connect the BTR5 in usb mode directly to the LG and I wonder if the sound will improve even more.

My DM6 has been cable/tip rolled to the full extent of my collection. As a matter of fact my DM6 has settled on the isn S8 cable in 2.5mm balanced for a while and it is the exact same cable that comes with the ISN H40. So perfect setup for a comparison. I use my hiby R6 with Tidal hi-fi as source. DM6 and H40 both have an impedance above 20 ohms so the R6 "high impedance" issue doesn't play a role here.

So I just got my BGVP DM6 today and I found it to be as good as everyone madr it out to be. But I heard the treble and it had a peak and was a little sharp for my liking as some had already discussed previously in the forums. As a audiophile and a modder I decided to fix this treble related issue. If you have the same issue, here is the solution.

1) Go to Wal-Mart or any craft store and buy a sheet of craft felt it was $.59 c at Wal-Mart.

2) take a pair of scissors or x-acto blade a cut a 1cm x 1cm square of the felt.

3) cut that square in half equally.

4) roll the pieces up like a rug and insert each delicately into the nozzles of each iem leaving out just enough to be able to remove the felt if need be.

5) Boom! Reduced treble enough to were its still very prominent in the mix, but not as sharp to cause fatigue.

Any more tips and tricks please let me know ! Enjoy !!!

Also, if you're looking to order one, I've mentioned a special deal BGVP is offering in the review. :wink:

I have been listening to the DM6 all year. Its an all BA. Wanted to try something with a DD. These Blons were highly regarded and were fairly cheap. Sonic-wise, I would say the blons are for longer listenings with added low end rumbles(typical DD) and a little less treble sparkle(clarity/pronounced highs?). The DM6 is a detail beast imo but its fatiguing after an hour or so. More importantly, the fit and isolation should be on point to get the best out of the blons.
