Very interesting, I'll have to try a switch back soon. As I wait for code 23, I switched from stock to PW FT and I thought I heard real improvement in bass and stage. But I did think stock also sounded great. Been listening to Xe6 nonstop since it's arrival, and wow, this is the TOTL I've been waiting for.
Favourite DAP for me with Rn6 is the Sony WM1ZM2. There's something about the warm and rich midrange tone from 1ZM2 that works so well with Rn6 (and Xe6 too when I had it) to my ears. But to be fair I think Rn6 sounds quite good from all the DAPs I've tried it with and doesn't appear to be super picky in that respect.
Regarding cables, I've rolled a bunch of different ones but none have compelled me enough to want to use anything other than stock. The stock cable seems to be high quality and to my ears sounds the best with Rn6.
Wanted to mention, as I have dived head first into my new Xe6, the Unique Melody umbrella/petal tips (I don't know what they're actually called) are doing very nicely!! They're really thin, they seal, and they get that Xe6 nozzle very deep! I use them with my Indigo so thought I'd try them here, too, and damn, they rock! Everything just sounds better and the KB is right up against my concha. For me, better than the Azla or spinfits.
Honorable mention to the PWA FT cable I've had for months, that nothing else sounded right on, until Xe6 came and stole the freakin show! This is a lovely pairing and I'll compare it soon with a Code 23...battle of the coppers!
