Found these decent shorty Rt Angle cables for the USB C input of the MixPre from China! I just bought [3] of the short ones and [2] of the longer ones with the braiding! I have about 8+ of these exact same cables to power BOTH of my DR-70D's, except with a Micro USB-B end, instead of the USB-C end, and they have worked out AWESOME & flawlessly for me in the 2+ years I've been using them, so I have no fears buying the MixPre6 for under $1k, and then only buying $1.50 USB-C Cables for them from China lol

I bought one of these - it actually looks pretty well made
Sweet
Like I said, I bought these exact same cables, except with Micro B ends, and they have worked FLAWLESSLY with both of my DR-70D's
I'm still waiting on my Micro C cables from this link! Let us know how they work when you receive them
And I'm ordering my MixPre6 ASAP! I should have it ordered within the next week or two MAX! So once I sell my backup 70D and a few other things, I'll be ordering a brand new MixPre6, and it's LITERALLY the LAST piece of my taping puzzle! Caps, KCY's, +60v PFA's, Stands, clamps, shocks, etc CHECK, and are ALL taken care of and top notch! The LAST HQ thing that I've wanted/needed is a badass deck! And the MixPre6 was made FOR ME, because it has EVERYTHING that I have wanted in a tiny, multi-channel recorder
And yeah, I've been screwed over TOO MANY damn times by the DR70D's stupidly designed HOLD/Gain Knobs debacle! If I forget that Hold is ON when I'm trying to dial in my levels, then I end up screwing up my levels and have to fix the error/s in post production! VERY BIG PITA IMO!
That said, the ONLY thing that I want SD to add to their new FW is a HOLD option/function of some kind! That way, hitting the STOP button ONCE wouldn't STOP/RUIN your recordings! At least add something easy, like you HAVE TO hit the STOP button 2x-3x before it actually STOPS the deck! Wouldn't that be easy in another FW Update?
