Hi,
I just ran through a comparison of the DMG and DM6 to hopefully answer your questions.
I was using Final E tips on both and comparing tracks played on my Shanling M0.
As you pointed out technical ability doesn't guarantee that it meets your personal preferences but here's what I think.
Both have decent soundstage and instrument separation. The DMG has this more in a left to right style rather than having depth.
The DM6 soundstage is more "3d/holographic" and for my tastes (progressive rock, rock, acoustic folk, electronic ) I find it better.
The bass on both is good some may prefer the dynamic bass of the DMG, personally I prefer the better controlled bass of the DM6.
It hits hard enough and it is one of the best (realistic) bass sounds I've heard from BA iems. The only better implementation from BA drivers I've heard is from my Empire Ears ESR, but we are talking a huge difference in price.
Treble is good on both. Once again it is better controlled and more cohesive on the DM6.
The DM6 is also easier to drive than the DMG have volume set considerably lower on the M0 than when using the DMG.
As for what gets the foot tapping, for me it's the DM6 it suits my preferences very well indeed. Of course it's each to their own.
From my perspective both deliver bang for the buck, the difference being the DMG is good, the DM6 is exceptional for the price.
Thanks mate.
Could you possibly try to describe the bass 'quality' difference without taking into account the slam.
ie Are they on the same level in terms of sub bass depth and more importantly organic texture ?
Maybe you can listen and compare the bass with this track track I know well.
