I'm pretty sure I recall that the iSine20 treble was not sharp or pronounced, and maybe it was even still slightly depressed, but just not as much as the 10. But, I do enjoy the 10, and got it on a HUGE sale directly from Audeze with 3.5mm cable, Lightning cable, and BT cable.

Sale still on?

It was a while back. Moon-Audio recently had a sale but it didn't include everything I got with the one last year at Audeze's site.

Okay, so I was able to find a good deal for an isine 10 without the cipher cable. As a note, can we replicate the cipher cable with a parametric eq? Or does the cipher cable have something special that no parametric eq'ing can match. Because if it's the latter case, I'm gonna wait until a deal with the cipher included shows up. Thanks!

The EQ depends on what device you are using to play the music. I have actually only used either the BT cable or Cipher cable (lightning with DSP), and always assumed that they had their amps tuned to work best with the iSine.

I'm not sure how well they do with a 3.5mm cable and no EQ and just an amp. I've not been impressed with my iPhone EQ unless only using bass reducer, treble reducer, or treble booster - but any other iPhone EQ setting that adds bass usually sounds bad (overdrives the input).

So, if the 3.5mm cable with an amp only needs a little treble boost, it shouldn't hurt the sound too much like doing bass boost.

Thanks for the impressions.

To answer my own question, the reveal plugin is probably what I need.

@jenkinsontherun I don't know what source you're using, but the TB Morphit plug-in works great too. I'm using USB Audio Player Pro, and have Morphit set to use my iSine 20s as the headphones and the Harmon AE/OE target. The result is awesome to my ears.

Is this mobile friendly? Or desktop only.

I should have mentioned my source. I'm using the Toneboosters Morphit plugin added to the USB Audio Player Pro (app) on a Fiio X5iii DAP... so it's definitely mobile-friendly.

 

[jenkinsontherun]

oh wow didn't know there were eq plugins for daps. I guess this effectively means daps like the x5 can have a parametric eq?

I'm happy with the Morphit plugin, as the result sounds very nice to my ears when I set it up for "iSine 20" > Generic Harmon AE/OE. Because of this I haven't paid attention to discussions about parametric EQ, but I know there are solutions out there. Also, there are some Head-Fiers who have given guidance on using 6 or 10 band EQs instead of the more complex parametric EQs and their related adjustments.

Here's the link to Morphit: https://www.toneboosters.com/tb_morphit_v1.html I believe I paid $3 or $4 USD for the Android plugin.

If given a choice,is it better to get an isine 10 with a v1 Ci-her cable or go for the v2

Cowon Plenue JetEffects makes the iSine 10 ... good !

I'd get the iSine 10 with the V2 Cipher cable.
