I received my iSine 20 yesterday after a year with the iSine 10. The 20 had the Cypher v2 in the box, so i was happy to compare both as my 10 had the V1. Actually it's quite a disappointment, the V1 sounds better, the V2 sounds veiled and muddy in comparison. But the most exciting part was when i realised that the iSine 20 sounds so much better with a balanced cable on the Sony WM1A using 10 band EQ settings supplied here. Much better than the cypher V2 or V1 on my iPhone Xs.

Simply an amazing combo !

Not all 10-band equalizers use the same 10 bands. 31 and 32 should be interchangeable though, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Also, not all graphical equalizers will work the same way in terms of q-factor, etc., so the results with the same settings could be significantly different in some cases.

Basically, what you're trying to do with a 10-band or other graphical EQ is get as close as you can to one of the curves that KMANN posted (or whatever suits your own tastes). You can see the curves here. You won't be able to replicate those curves, exactly, but you can often get close enough for decent results.

If you're listening on a PC and have the ability to use something that takes VST plugins, the Audeze "Reveal" plugin will be a much more accurate solution, and it's very simple once you've got it set up.

This is what I use for instance.

I use an DAP so i want a good EQ for the iSins 20, but the 10 Band EQ only begins on 32. If i use this Settings on it, it dosent sound right to me

Check your v2 cipher version using the Audeze hq app on your xs. The latest firmware update (6.1.5) improves the sound quite significantly.

pick the 150 rmb one is good enough. pick any plugs combination that you want. but you may be charged extra.

tell the shop u r using it for isine, he would know what to do. and if 4.4 or 2.5 mm balanced.

Hmmm..

In that case you'll be better off with i20+v1..
