Jim was telling me this particular cable is one of his best sounding ones. It isn't anything fancy but is a pure copper OCC variety imported from Taiwan. He recommended this cable to use on the NK10 of all earphones so I bought one same day he sent the M6 was on 11/11 actually. Excellent sounding cable it improves everything about the M6/ DMG. Definitely sign of a good cable.

I have all three. I just got the Whizzer yesterday, and it too, is impressive. I’ll listen to all three tonight and tell you what I think tomorrow. What are you going to be running it through (what player)? Balanced?
Would be nice if you could compare the vocals of both the dm6 and whizzer.

It looks same as Penon OCC 8 core cable I've bought together with my DM6 from them.

ikko OH1, two driver hybrid, one Knowles 33518 and 10mm titanium diaphragm dynamic driver, crinacle like them and that is a very rare thing

But one of the ugliest looking at the connection point.

Huge gap, doesn't match at all looks-wise outside of the color. Has to have scared people off of them as it gives a bad impression. Even if unfair, looks do matter and turn people off. Housing are not that hot either to be honest.

So for the price of one of them earphones. You can get one of these. I had to jump on this deal. Since I lost my N5ii somewhere in China. I have 2 200gig chips ready to load onto something. Might as well be a $140 Pioneer XDP-30r. Always been curious about these. Seems a better deal than the Shanling M0 with more capabilities and probably a better sound for $40 more was my logic. Great deal none the less. I would jump on one if any of you guys are interested in a new player for cheap!.https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1334874-REG/pioneer_xdp_30r_b_digital_audio_player_black.html

The ear pieces look like mashed gum in the shape of a worn old bike seat. lol. Those might sound decent. Can get them on Penon

Fred Flintstone made it.

Can't say anything about sound quality, but you should watch out for them Pioneer and Onkyo's phones out sockets (especially balanced) - They get loose pretty damn quick.

That cable has no memory wire on it right D's?? I plan to get and work up a Dunu Titan 6 in the future and that is not over the ear. A good priced 8 core upgrade cable to reign in the low end of the PVD Beryllium driver. They just single side coated it but the right cable and thick core tips holding tight will do the same job the second side coating is suppose to do to give better "vibrational characteristics".

I'm 90% convinced on buying the Opus 1s for $380 with case and this monkey wrench comes into the picture. I don't need wifi or BT.

Any opinions between the two? I plan to use the DAP as a USB out or out to an amp to drive a desktop setup. It might go portable sometimes, but I also have an LG V30 plus for that.

Much appreciated.

I don't think it's any more uglier than other hyped iems here. Actually I don't think it's ugly at all. It's far from worse.
