I got the 20's on Friday. I will post a little review shortly. However, odd thing happening with the left earpiece - It has a microphonic "crunchiness" (similar to Stax fart) to it, even when the cable is not attached. I thought it was my ear at first, but it does this in both ears (I turn it upside down in the right ear to fit properly). The right earpiece does not exhibit this behavior in either ear(dead silent). It's bad enough to make me want to return them or swap them out. Not sure if I should return to the vendor or try Audeze direct.

This is not possible. The Cipher cable only works with Lightning conenctors. The Laptops use USB or USB-C and there is no easy way to use them. You can swap out the cable and use the analog cable with the laptop

So, if the next iPhone uses USB-C there is a possibility? Are you planning to make a USB-C Cipher?

anyone know where to buy a replacement 3.5 or cypher cable? doesn't seem to be an option on audeze's website.

I think Apple might eventually go USB-C, but they're a company that tends to wait until they think it's the right time to make a change. We could be waiting a while for that to happen.

Agreed Apple likes to let the market mature before making wholesale changes. Plus, the Lightning connectot is proprietary to them and everyone must pay for the MFI certification in order for it to work with future Apple updates. So it's a money maker for them at the moment. If they were going to do it I'm sure they would make a Lightning to USB-C adapter for all of the older generation products to work.

Do you want to buy replacements ? All iSine headphones should be under warranty. Contact Audeze support (support@audeze) with your iSine serial number to get it replaced

Audeze, any idea on my issue from a few posts back? Thanks!

Some more EQ options
Since I see a number of Head-fiers using the EQ I posted and also saw some feedback on the EQ, I am happy to post two more variations that go easy near 4k. I would be happy to hear feed-back form you and we can even push the EQ to Cipher at a later point.

Here are two variants (V1, V2) and finally the original I had published earlier.

After understanding I needed to include High Shelfs too (which I at first did not do) I found the implications of the first high shelf for both variants too drastic.
So I have tried out a Peak EQ instead of the first --5.91 db which creates an overall similar curve but doesn't put a cloth on the high frequencies:
Frequency 1682
Gain -4.149
Q 0.516
Looking for feedback.

Groovy Tips and new Earhooks arrived today from USA here in Germany. Both are a great alternative. The new Earhooks are way more comfortable and the groovy tips too. Try them.

How about a USB-C Cipher cable? Pretty please!

We will reach out to them and make sure they are available in the next 2 weeks.

I really appreciate that!

Only place I've seen that offers they iSine Cipher cable is Moon Audio, and it's $99. But hey, I think it the cheapest cable they sell.

Quick few questions for iPhone/Cipher users out there:

1. When you plug your Cipher cable in, does the iPhone simply say "Headphones" as the output device or does it recognise the Cipher as a DAC and display its name?
2. When you pause your music (with the iPhone display off), leave it for 15 seconds. Can you resume the music or invoke Siri using the Cipher centre button?

Thanks

To answer your questions:

1.) Yes it only says Headphones
2.) Yes you can resume playback or invoke siri even after some standby time.

Thanks. On mine, once the music has been paused for 15 seconds it no longer responds to a wake-up press.
I also recall when I briefly tried a Dragonfly DAC, the name of the DAC showed as the output device, not just generic headphones.
