Try my eq for the Audeze iSine 10 guys (No CIPHER cable!)
I eq'd it by ear to match the tonality of my Etymotic's (super smooth). Sounds awesome.

Less-precise, parametric EQ:
Preamp: -6.2 dB
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 921 Hz Gain -5.5 dB Q 0.820
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 1474 Hz Gain -4.3 dB Q 2.980
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 2596 Hz Gain 3.9 dB Q 1.250
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 4929 Hz Gain 6.6 dB Q 2.570
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 9000 Hz Gain -2.8 dB Q 1.100
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 3992 Hz Gain 1.9 dB Q 3.890
Filter 7: ON PK Fc 4899 Hz Gain -1.5 dB Q 1.670
Filter 8: ON PK Fc 5863 Hz Gain 0.6 dB Q 5.930
Filter 9: ON PK Fc 4308 Hz Gain -4.7 dB Q 4.700
Filter 10: ON HSC Fc 11000 Hz Gain 5.5 dB Q 1.000
Filter 11: ON PK Fc 3400 Hz Gain 4.6 dB Q 2.600
Filter 12: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain -1.1 dB Q 6.000
Filter 13: ON PK Fc 8000 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 1.000
Filter 14: ON PK Fc 7000 Hz Gain 3.4 dB Q 5.000
Filter 15: ON PK Fc 13600 Hz Gain -6.0 dB Q 10.000
Filter 16: ON PK Fc 11000 Hz Gain 5.1 dB Q 1.700
Filter 17: ON PK Fc 9500 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 7.000

Highly-precise 130 band graphic EQ:
eq apo.pngSee attached files for the settings, I also attached a 127 band EQ for Wavelet

By the way, here's how I'm fitting them: Audeze iSINE and LCDi4 Setup Tutorial
I followed the audeze video, im using the medium smooth tips, clear hooks (turned at that angle!), and shallow inserting them like audeze shows

there could be some unit variation shenanigans so it might not sound like mine but this eq that i made sounds WAY better than every other eq ive tried.
Thanks for the settings.

How do I enable the 130 band eq on equaliser apo?

There are a few ways to do it, but this is how I did it...

EqualizerAPO (barebones installation, WITHOUT the peace GUI), reads EQ settings from the file "config.txt" (located in "C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config"), you edit this file using the Configuration Editor (C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\Editor.exe). When you first launch the Configuration Editor it will already have config.txt open.

With that out of the way, I like to create separate text files for each EQ profile. EqualizerAPO allows you to include other text files in its config.txt. This is quite hard to explain, so I'll attach some pictures.

This way, I can manage and toggle my EQ presets easily.
The "isine-10-eq-2.txt" file is the same file as the one I shared, "Audeze iSine 10 Perfect EQ 130 bands for EqAPO.txt"
Put this file in the EqualizerAPO configuration folder. (C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config), and then in the Configuration Editor, click the green + icon, in Control, choose Include, and then choose the txt file using the you put in the Equalizer APO config folder.

If EqualizerAPO is working correctly, the EQ should start to take effect.

Thanks for the detailed walk through.

Why don't you use peace gui?

Another EQ for the iSINEs, this improves upon the EQ I posted before. I've really done it now...
See the file below. You will need to use EqualizerAPO for this, and it's a really complex EQ now. I have no idea about Peace, sorry, but it's worth the effort.

See my earlier post for EqualizerAPO instructions

Thank you so much for the effort you put in, and also for sharing 👏

This is very vocal-centric, with a lovely bass boost ☺️👍

I'm glad you like it. The EQ aims for a "studio sound" with extra low end and a little extra top end.
I put an upper mid (1-3KHz) switch in the EqAPO file, having it on makes vocals shine, but it can sound shouty on some recordings, turning the switch off has a more "dynamic" sound, but vocal-centric content can sound a little recessed.

I've been perfecting the eq over the months.
to my ears the entire frequency response sounds flat in a tone generator, the end result is outstanding. it sounds amazingly natural now.

One word...Neutral!

First thing i noticed was the need to increase the volume. With your previous eq, my listening volume was ‘47’, with this I have it set to ‘60’.

It sounds very neutral with no peaks whatsoever, amazing 👏🏼😎

I listened with all eq settings at their default values.

Has anyone tried using them reversed & upside down with the fiio utws5? How is the comfort?

Just wandering about custom molding ear fit, have anybody tried it? Hooking is great 😂 Broke them a lot…..
No hooks available at Audeze right now.
I would like to see a well recommended custom molding brand for isine.
Cheers

You have to contact Audeze directly for the ear hook kit as they have a super low stock.
Also try these out for a comfortable tip/wing combo.
