Changing the cable and 40 hours of burn-in have tammed the Magaosi K5 a smidge, though it may be just too mid-centric for my liking? There is also a small spike in the midrange; just a really small frequency response which seems unnatural and out of place? At $199 it’s not the end of the world. This is the price I pay for taking risks. Hopefully another 360 hours of burn-in will help?
Amazingly the DM6 is starting to show some improvement after some burn-in, though I’m going for 200 hours total in the end. The best way to describe it would be smoothing out and frequency polish around the edges. They are becoming more cohesive, coherent and the bass has possibly recessed ever so slighly while maturing. I not a total burn-in believer as I have thought an IEM was burned-in and changed, then purchased a second brand-new pair only to find it sounded exactly like the burned-in pair. So I don’t know what’s going on here, but in the ends it’s all good.

i doubt there's going to be big changes especially in all BA drivers, but if you want to and you got the time, i say go for it, there's no harm in doing it
So........... the signature became smooth, after burn-in? See.......and I find that strange that many think the DMG and DM6 sound the same at the start. But..........when in the shop and listening I’m not sure I even knew the two were from the same company? Also I didn’t like the finish on the DMG. Though it has filters right, so maybe set up with a particular filter the two sound the same?

400 hours =
16.667 days
Woo Audio recommends 150 hours too on tube amps, you get no instruction manual just a sheet of paper with that written on it. Lol
Years and years ago everyone burned their AKG 701s for 300 hours.
Well, I don’t like the K5, so I’m not going to be listening to them anyway. Lol
no, even with the filters, the DMG won't sound like the DM6, they really have a different sound signature, I think many would think the DMG and DM6 would sound the same because both have a nice quality to their lows/highs

I've had the K5 about as long as anyone (bought mine during the pre-sale) and it hasnt changed signature in the time I've had them. I used them for daily drivers for several months so I know they have over 1000 hours on them now.
