Funny... I was just about to complain about that...
j/k! I do wish they were "Industry Standard", but since they aren't. They are fine. It would be nice if it were easier to source the connectors though (for the DIY crowd).
There are always going to be somebody unhappy about something! Overall I love the build quality of them, but I won't know for sure if I will have any real complaints until after a few weeks or months of using them.
I really love my Mojo with the open EL-8s, but I'm going to be brave and say that they sound just as good through my MacBook Pro audio jack. The audio interface on current Macs is awesome and supports up to 24/96.

That is a bold statement. One that I can't say the same for. My Gaming PC has a dedicated audio chipset and I've added the +5v adapter to give them more power to the headphones. It supports 24/192 and doesn't sound as good as my Cambridge DacMagic XS, which doesn't sound as good as my Modi 2 Uber, which doesn't sound as good as the Mojo (from what I understand, I don't have one). So... the new Macbook (which I wanted to buy, until I read that I can't upg

Yeah, honestly I'm not sure. If I could find a way to do a true level-matched A/B between the MBP and Mojo, that would be rather interesting. All I know is that I enjoy the EL-8s just as much through my MBP headphone output as I do through my Mojo.
The Mojo is awesome and I still would never sell it, but I just don't feel obligated to take it with me if I'm moving my MBP around, which is nice.
@WayTooCrazy, @zambz, I'm in the middle of both of you, while the Xonar DG sound card is good with the EL8 to me the best has been the headphone output of my UD-301, I don't know why but the sound is the most dynamic and clean.
I'd love to know that too. Apple is unveiling some products on the 13th so maybe we can see some lightening ports on laptops. Would be awesome to plug the Audeze's straight into a laptop with the cipher cable. PS LOVING the 2016 EL-8o. They sound incredible.
I have a Cipher cable for my Sine and I have to say I don't really think it's a night-and-day difference from the regular cable, both in sound quality and volume. It may be different with the EL-8 though.

I think it's almost NO difference (if any), personally (I have the EL8 Titanium). Just a novelty IMO, sounds the same with the standard 3.5 jack. I only wonder about apple including lighting ports in laptops because having one cable for 2 uses is clearly easier than having 2 cables to keep track of.
You know, maybe my ears suck, or maybe the placebo receptors in my brain are damaged, who knows, maybe for you it's a miracle. If you can try one, do it, see what you think, but I have A/B'd it and the standard cable and... mehhh, it's a cool toy, but it's whatever. Nothing different to me. Maybe I'm not using good enough source and high enough volume or something, but in my comfort zone and my source material, it's just another cable, not another level
