Hey guys, at the beach with family so sorry for the late reply.
The cable is diy. Ebay vendors. Cable is about $10 a meter including shipping. I made my cable is 2m. Together with the connectors total price is right under $25. I also have a all copper version, same price. Copper sounds just as detailed slightly warmer and treble not as forward.
Those look like quality connectors. Can u link them up here.?

finally received my cipher cable and groovy kit from Audeze today - went to load my music on iTunes to put on my ipod to test the cable and iTunes cant handle flac LOL - what converter do you recommend. Will probably just test the cipher cable with Spotify premium. This apple business is really a pain in the @@@ now I remember why I gave up on apple 5 years ago

iOS 11 will accept FLAC natively, finally. Otherwise, currently you have to either convert to ALAC, use a different app and upload the FLAC files to it through iTunes, or use an app with ability to access a cloud service and download from the cloud.

Liking the 10s with spiral dots too. To get them on, i wet/damp the nozzle and it'll side on easier. I do this to all my iems that give me trouble with tips.

Also, i would like to add. If you having trouble with fit, try adjusting the ear hooks. I found that depending on the location that it sits, will determine the clamp force and comfort. I like lit with a little more clamping force so the iem will stay sealed. Its actually more comfortable since the iem doesn't move around as much.

I got tidal premium today - with the cipher cable it does sound very good - better then I thought - I will be keeping the cable with me for sure. For those android only people (like me ) I wouldn't worry to much, with a good player like viper for android or hf player and a half decent dac / amp the sound is similar/ better but the cipher cable to ipod is much slimmer for sure.

I do think my current combo of - Samsung galaxy s8+ out via usb to hifime sabre 9018 usb dac to fiio e17k with hf player with the cipher eq posted recently sounds better to me but it is much more bulky

hope this helps anyone looking to buy

It should, especially with an external amp. The Cipher is designed to be ultra portable in a small package that is hard to beat on features and price. DAC, AMP, DSP for $50 bucks is a pretty good deal...is it not ?

Here you go guys.

The connectors.

I like these because the barrel is screw on, others just slip over and you have to glue. Seller has other styles also. The pins on these fit the isine but the groove is too narrow and shallow. You have to widen and deepen the grove just a bit. I just used a exacto knife tip to scratch it a few time and it did the job.

The cable.
Silver: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1meter-4cor...850679?hash=item4645912477:g:VcQAAOSwOMdZU3rZ
Copper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1meter-4cor...738136?hash=item465c72ccd8:g:mrUAAOSwgv5ZVJS7
The silver is softer to the touch and more flexible than the copper. Silver leans towards brighter and copper towards warmer. I like both for different amps.
