Cool. How is the soundstage with the Titanium version?

Soundstage is decent, not as wide as the open, but not bad....The speed and clarity is fantastic

I would image is sounds the same as the EL-8 Closed no?

 I would assume but I haven't heard it

How do these compare to the Oppo-PM3?  From a sound, not quality of build materials perspective.

Question for the group. 
 
I am traveling and I don't have a travel amp/dac set up. I am listening to a song right now on my 2015 Retina Macbook and it is painfully bright.
 
More then likely this is the Dac built into the Macbook right?
 
I did not have this issue at home on my Deckard.

Do you have the iTunes EQ on? Maybe the song itself is bright.

Try Amarra SQ+, they have a free trial I believe. I listen to TIdal on my mac thru that.

I think its the lack of dac/amp. Can't imagine the dac in here is very good.

I have the 2015 Macbook Pro and the DAC doesn't seem to have any brightness to me, I don't know if you have the regular Macbook or the Pro though.

2015 Macbook Retina - Not pro. This is just travel set up. Use a desktop system at home.

News from Audeze.
 
They have confirmed me by email that EL-8s are all compatible with the cipher lightning cable.
I would like to clarify it because there is a little confusion in some official retailers about it.
 
Some retailers told me in the past that Audeze will release an specific cipher cable for each EL-8.
 
Yesterday I have tested my cipher cable with EL8 open back and it works perfectly.
Same benefits as in the Titanium ones
