Reading up like crazy now...Can anyone explain that Y-cable that comes with the MixPre-6? Is that only useful when powering from a computer? I assume one USB-A connector supplies power and the other allows data transfer? All that can't be done with one USB-A to USB-C cable?
It’s only useful for those lacking usb-c with proper PD. The Y-cable uses power and data from one USB A connector and power only from the other. A single USB A connector can not properly supply the MP with power for all inputs, +48 and other features. Yes. It’s way beyond thick and annoying to use.

I have a right angle single a to c that powers with the green light and works perfect. unfortunately I don't know the make/model/link to the cable as it came in a package with my gently used mp6. seller can't find it either.
Thanks for the help. I am pretty much an expert user here, i admin dozens of macs.My unit just doesn't work via any usb function, i will try another MP3 and cable(s) soon Not going to use it as an interface anyway, just wanted to see what the excitement wasusing as a usb headphone amp.
I can't get my MP6 to play back any files. They play fine on my PC, but not on the recorder. What am I missing?
I've only done a couple shows so far but I've been fine running Battery > USB A > USB C > MixPre-6 with the supplied cable.

There was a bug where you lost the ability to play projects back if the card was removed from the MixPre.I'm on v2.21, so not sure why it doesn't work
