I have too many, lol (Earstudio ES100, AK XB10, mojo2, cipher v2, cipher BT, Xduoo Link, Hidizs Sonata, iBasso DC01...) and have been thinking of getting the 5K since before it was released, lol. Lately, I was contemplating getting the mojo2 instead but a couple of days ago I didn't resist anymore and ordered the 5k, lol. It just got shipped from Korea so I should get it in a few days hopefully. Does that preset have a name?

Yes, each headphone is named. Enjoy!

I got the 5K today. Using the iSine 20 on the balanced connection with the iSine 20 preset by oratory 1990.seems to be closer to my cipher v2 setup.

Anyone tried the isine 20 with the chord mojo?

The iSINE 20 sounds great with either the Mojo 1 or Mojo 2. I use the built in Roon Audeze DSP Preset for the iSINE 20 and it sounds great, With the Mojo 2, I can use the Mojo 2’s DSP function to tweak the sound of the iSINE 20 as well.

I only use them with phones and tablets with mostly locally stored files, I don’t have Roon. They sound great indeed but with the cipher v2 (directly on iPhones or with the Anker usbC adapter) they are truly on another level. I can come close with mojo1, Q5 and other days and adapters but still, every time I use them with the cipher cable I feel the difference right away. I’ll figure it out eventually, lol

@stmiller New iSine 10 EQ. I've been gravitating towards more of a dynamic and fun sound.
There are even more filters than before. Sorry about that! This also corrects the polarity too. Lemme know what you think.

Unzip the zip and put all the txts in the same directory then load iSine-10-EQ-Final.txt.

@shoui catemoji good to hear from you, it’s been awhile I checked this thread.
Your previous eq was simply unbelievable. It’s gonna take some beating.

I’ll test out this version and give feedback. Thanks for the effort and for sharing.

Any chance of working your eq magic on an isine20?

The first thing i noticed with this update is the increased detail at the upper registers..
The treble is so detailed without any hint of sibilance, hence creating a very wide soundscene...

The low end is quite fleshed out and hits hard..electronic music sounds awesome

As for vocals, it keeps the same presentation which I really enjoyed in the previous version.

Excellent work

Unfortunately I only have an iSine 10, but the frequency responses are similar, with the main difference being the iSine 20 has a dip at 4200Hz that the iSine 10 does not.
@stmiller
I have a new EQ! and this one i haven't changed in a month, so I'm pretty darn satisfied with it now. No more adjustments from now on!
I have moved to using impulse response files, this reduces the CPU usage to 0-1% while keeping the same sound.

Download
(Note: you need the one that matches your playback device sample rate. My DAC is set to 96KHz. That is what all my EQs were created on. (EqualizerAPO filters work differently depending on sample rate).
The files here that are not 96KHz are resamples. You should get the same effective (20-20000Hz) frequency response as me, but there may be abnormalities in the higher frequencies. I have not tested any of the non-96KHz versions but they should work.
iSine10EQFinalImpulse96KHz.wav
iSine10EQFinalImpulse96KHz_44100_RESAMPLE.wav
iSine10EQFinalImpulse96KHz_48000_RESAMPLE.wav
iSine10EQFinalImpulse96KHz_192000_RESAMPLE.wav
iSine10EQFinalImpulse96KHz_384000_RESAMPLE.wav

As for applying this into EqualizerAPO, simply add an Convolution filter (should be in Advanced filters), and load the file.
You may need to place the .wav file in the EqualizerAPO installation directory! (C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO)

As for how I made the impulse responses, see this guide.

Wavelet Version

I converted this EQ to Wavelet too. However, Wavelet has a limited number of bands, so the accuracy isn't the best.

Hello @shoui catemoji,

Excellent work as usual..this latest eq profile is the most resolving you’ve created so far. What stands out the most for me is the effect on soundstage and imaging. The scene sounds wider with very good separation.

My testing has been hampered by broken ear hooks. I’ve got none left for now, so working on ordering direct from audeze or any 3rd party printed sets.

Please keep updating whenever you can, we appreciate your efforts.

Picked the Isine 20’s up in Audeze’s latest B-stock sale…. No Apple cable, but I can make them sound fantastic with my 2 Sony DAPs using EQ…. Amazing bargain at $195! and loads of fun…

 

[Not so fat head]

I so know I’m going to enjoy these over 2024, that I picked up a spare fit kit and cable from Audeze.. since these are discontinued, probably zero on offer next year, I’m doing to jump in quickly and try to snatch the LCD-i3’s next year…. I think B-stock was $399 this year….

I started with the isine 20. Within 6mo I was looking out for b-stock LCD-i4. I can honestly say the i4 eq'd is one of my top 3 or 4 favorite headphones, ever! Enjoy your 20, and I hope you're able to get an i3 soon

Help man, can you post the wavelet preset again for isine 10? The link already dead in this one, or is there any update version from you? Thanks
