The DQ6 may be cable-sensitive, and I see all sorts of people using replacement cables in this thread.

There's a sale coming up soon, so I thought I might get a cable for the DQ6.

So far, I've narrowed it down to the following ones I can actually find:

-TRN T3 SPC

-FAAEAL 4 core copper [Hibiscus cable, 2-pin]

-NiceHCK 4 cores 4N OFHC

-NiceHCK LitzOCC 4N

-a KZ 'gold-silver cable' [cheap 8-core]

and, alternatively, a TRI Through cable for the ZS7, maybe also the DQ6.

Does anyone have any experience that would cause them to select one of these in particular?
The TRI Through cable works really well with the ZS7!

I dont rec the TRN cable, because their qc is quite bad (it also measures a lot higher than the faaeal cable).

I've got one TRN and is horrible...
Jack is scratchy noisy, slider retain nothing, hanchor don't stay in place and fall from ears and if I pull the jack to hard it lost his extern cylinder....

Dr. Rez is correct however as a low poster I’m sure un-aware of the ban. I did want to say I’m glad to see more people purchasing the BA10, still one if the very best all BA iem’s I’ve heard at any price. Also glad I picked up my second pair now that the word is spreading :rolling_eyes:
Still waiting on mine only two states away, should be here this week..been on the fence for a long time on these, you guys pushed me over. The folks that have these already and have been commenting are head fiers whose opinions I Trust so Im really looking forward to this.. Should be here this week!! BTW got my Dq6 in couple of days ago and my initial response is very good.. Still working on fit and seal but good cohesion Between the three drivers and good sound quality, especially for the money.... So many good budget IEMs out right now...

You gonna hook them up to BT20s? I’m thinking about doing that.
Will do but I am enjoying my new tube amp right now.

I have the TRN T3 and the KZ gold silver, don't recommend the T3. The KZ isn't bad but proprietary and may only work with KZ IEMs.

Oh, I actually also have the FAAEAL, it is pretty good.

Just received my DQ6 and on first listening, I am quite impressed by the sound, fit and build quality.

What is tc01? I don’t think I have.

the newest single DD IEM everyone raving about Tripowin TC01, just sold my NM2+, getting this from Amazon, going to check if this one is a keeper.

going to wait for DQ6 on amazon... too chicken to pull the trigger

Can't recommend this combination, due the high sensitivity of the DQ6 there is a pretty loud audible hum. And I was using the BT20S Pro version, which has less hum then the non pro version.

What I also discovered with the adapter, the DQ6 can't handle loud playing, at around 80 percent the sound became really compressed and distorted.

Well, finally pulled the trigger on DQ6, to see what they sound like, now to wait until they're there. :relaxed:
I have plenty to listen to anyway and as IEMs aren't my main listening gears it won't be too hard waiting for them to arrive. (but I'm still eager to try them...:L3000:)
