Treble is more prominent on Etys than Triple.fi as well. I can't comment on the E500 because it has been a year since I owned them, but they weren't very forgiving towards upper midrange harshness.
I don't know if a silver recable might bring out more treble with the RE1. As far as we know, it might also increase sibilance. I'd be interested in Fang's take.
Anyway the RE1 don't have removable cables like UE IEMs.
