NEW VERSION OF FIRMWARE 6.1.5 FOR CIPHER V2

For those of you who feel Cipher V2 sounds off or very close to the analog cable, we found that there was an issue in the way the firmware was setup on the cloud and it prevented the default tuning from being pushed. Please update to 6.1.5, it should resolve the issue. If firmware update fails or gets stuck the first time, unplug cable, close app, plug cable, open app and try again. /it should go through.

Thanks to @hotteen for his help (and persistence) to bring this to our attention.

@bussola and @tgx78 -- Based on what you reported earlier, in retrospect, your cable may have been affected by the same issue.

Looks like I have an issue with the cipher v2 that came with my black friday isine20. update failed several times. I tried it from multiple ios devices. Now it looks like it can't even tell the firmware version correctly or it defaulted back to 5.0.6 during the failed upgrade or it's bricked. I'll contact support. This cable always seemed a little wonky anyway since it sometimes seemed to fail to be recognized by the phone/app.

Fortunately, my cipher v2 that I bought to upgrade my isine10 updated cleanly on the second try. Sounds much better now. At least I can use the v2 on the isine20 and the v1 on the isine10 in until I get a replacement.

Thanks ! My BF i20 + Cipher v2 updated on first try Sounds great.

Does Audeze ever do other sales similar to the ones from from BF? I missed the i20s and the more I read the more intrigued I am.

Might want to ask on the Deals thread too. Will get the benefit of when various vendors have a sale. I originally purchased my LCD-X on a bundle/sale from Adorama. But I've also somehow managed to buy something the last couple black friday's from Audeze too.

Thank you very much!

But I ain't gonna change anything on my cable now, as I found my perfect tuning, and don't want to mess again with it. Maybe one day when I'll get bored again I'll update for sure. thanks again.

I updated to the new firmware yesterday and it is a noticeable improvement IMO.

 

[clerkpalmer]

totally agree. Something wasn't quite right.

Just received my isine 20. firmware update no prob. Absolutely amazing sound!! Truly blown away. Sounds more open than my oppo pm2 lol (given the pm2 doesn't have a big soundstage for an open HP).
But truly amazing clarity. Also comfortable for me. Well done @Audeze thank you a lot

 

[bussola]

Actually I updated like one hour ago.
Thank you, now it sounds really really good, the bass is amazing. And I also didn't need to adjust my eq too much, just a little.
That's great.
It's like we, cypher v2 owners, have been listening to half the power of the headphone for two months now!

better late than never I guess!

cheers

I had the iSINE10,but changed to iSINE20. I also have the M300.The differences between the 10/20,were noticeable, but enough for $200? The M300, are again similar to the 10 in soundstage/depth. If you just want/afford one, get the M300,you won't be disappointed. I don't like to comment too much on sound differences, because my ears are 77 years old!.

I also recommend the M300s as an affordable way to explore the planar IEM design. One problem to be aware of with the M300s though is the flimsy ear clips that break easily. Monoprice needs to address this. In the meantime, there are some clever ideas posted on head-fi by members who have solved their clip issues. I 3-D printed custom ear clips and that solved the problem for me. I love my M300s now. They sound better than they did with the Monoprice flat clips because my custom clips position the monitors just right for my ears. They stay on better and are way more comfortable. Now that I know how to 3-D print ear clips for planar IEMs, I would consider investing in the iSine 20s, but for now, I'm happy with the M300s.

I have to give some props to Cipher V2. Wow. Everything just sound BIGGER. As if I couldn't get enough of these before. People talk about the "wow" fading on headphones but here we are 8 months later and I'm still all goosebumps over the isine20.

It's so absolutely worth the update. Your new preset will sound so much better.

Is there any interest in a cipher v1 cable, some tips, clips, or ear locks? I'd sell them for what they cost or less. I'd also trade for a v2 cable.

dm me.

 

[Jimmy Gazelle]

has anyone tried the isine 20 with the 3.5 mm cable and a different dac/amp like the mojo for example? cause just the 3.5 cable does sound considerably worse, but maybe I don´t want to listen via iphone with these for all eternity...
