  No you can purchase the detachable cables version from here http://www.mistertao.com/beta/pages/item/36397321173.html

 
Thanks for the link. Does it come from Mr Z directly or the guy selling them mod this. Is it official MusicMaker product? Just curious, because I ordered mine yesterday and detachable cable is important advantage for me.

If I knew there is a detachable cable version, You bet I would order these. Didn't notice there's a choice.

I think I've read it's problematic with this specific IEM. Maybe why they don't sell it at AliExpress? Not sure though. Anyone?
hck from Alixpress warned me that the detachable version was problematic, advised me against ordering it. One H-fier ordered a detachable version and was disappointed that the mmcx cable didn't fit snug. There's a photo of it somewhere back in this thread.

I have a Fiio e11 I will test it with the Keggers later on. Also there is a portable amp on the MusicMakers taobao shop that is begging to be discovered!



I have xDuoo X3, it has power enough to drive Shockwave?

My budget is $ 60 for an amp if necessary. I was thinking about Topping NX3 ($57 on Ali). Someone would have budget suggestions to drive Shockwave ?

Thanks.
I tried out my Fiio E11 with the Keggers and it sounds good but not the full potential of the Keggers.
The E11 adds a bit of unwanted warmth and slightly hinders the details and sparkle of the kegs. If there's a good budget portable amp for the Keggers the E11 imho isn't it.

Fiio E12 is a very good amp, its about double the budget but well worth it. I got it for $127 a month ago on Amazon...now its $110

Cayin C5 and Fiio E12DIY would be ones to look at.
Cayin on warm side slightly (tubey) and DIY lots of opamp rolling combinations

HIs budget is $60 and those are pushing way over though.

I wish there were more people to independently confirm its reliability.
Fair enough it sticks out, can live with that, but if it is flexing out of the port that is another thing.
