I’ve ordered the DM6 and now thinking i should take advantage of the sale and get additional spare MMCX cable.
What are people’s thoughts on the cable supplied with DM6?
I believe the supplied cable is 6N 8 core OCC which on paper sounds good to me as I prefer the warmer sound with copper than that from silver cables.
I’m wondering if this NiceHCK cable would make a worthy side if not an upgrade ?
Described as Highly quality copper vs BGVP OCC.

i bought bgvp dm6 cable separated, to get the balanced 2.5mm version (grey color).

it's the same cable that comes with DM6.
measured dc resistance (in mΩ): L+:169 R+:173 L-:277 R-:190
they provide some info in the product page, but it's unintelligible. the wire looks like this, instead:

look is awesome, nice porn. but i miss better strain relief in the jack, and the resistance of L- signal suggest a not so clean solder than the others.
besides, it's stiffer than some similar cables. it might be due to teflon somewhere.
the nicehck cable of the link has amazing conductivity, which indicates the overall quality, besides of total thickness of the wire.
got the balanced 2pins version, and measured its dc resistance (in mΩ): L+:107 R+:111 L-:104 R-:114.
i wouldn't say it's an upgrade, more of a side grade. this cable is more flexible, has better conductivity, but we don't know about the wire material in any of the cables.
bgvp seems to be silver plated copper, while hck seems to be copper. about wire purity, we know nothing either (we can't trust provided info).
anyway, this hck cable is very cheap for what you get. it is worth it in every case.
