Thanks for clarifying in an official post. Will users be able to order CYPHER cables with some variant of USB at any point? (Android / Mac / PC / etc...)

to be clear about the cipher lightning cable eq:
are you saying that your "house eq" is now the baseline sound and that any eq'ing we do or save onto the cable with the app will be "on top" of that, or do we also have to option to start with only sound of the headphones and eq from there?
thanks

Are you wiling to somehow share that eq curve with us so that we could implement it when using the normal cable? I want to make sure i get the same sound out of these no matter where i use them.
also do you know or will you release the efficiency ratings?
thanks again.

So wait.
You put cable A into player A, then cable B into player B, and you're trying to compare the cables. Like, it's not occurring to you that a proprietary cable going direct digital into an iPhone might be changing things somehow.
Put the 3.5mm into your iPhone and compare it then.
This. You cant completely change players and then say its *just* the cable. I have no doubts the DAC in the cable is tuned quite extensively, but its not a for sure conclusion without testing on the same device...
Yes. We plan to have them. But we are still waiting for several things to coalesce. The Android support with various models is still difficult and the audio standard in many devices is only 16 bit. The intel spec for USB_C is still not published.
Hmm... that's troubling. I only heard the iSine on lightning cable but I'm not planning on using it with lightning. I mostly use my laptop.
Maybe you can shed some light here: why tune them to sound good with the lightning cable? Could the *headphones themselves* be tuned to have that good sound you're describing? I would like USB-C cable for laptop/phone but won't hold my breath for that.
Well, at least there's this 30 day return window to try things out.

I really hope lightning will just die. Apple put themselves in a weird situation with new Macbooks which are all USB-C now. But iPhone still has lightning. So if you have USB-C phone (Nexus, Pixel) and new Macbook, the experience is *better* than new Macbook and iPhone. iPhone 7S with USB-C? Or will they continue to stick to lightning "just because".
I understand that lightning is slightly better (even the connector itself is slightly nicer IMHO). But the world where you only need one cable for anything and everything is a pretty neat one.
</rant>
Unfortunately lightning won't die anytime soon. That's because Apple won't be able to license the USB C like they can for the lightning, thus losing out on all the potential monies that they are currently making.
In a perfect world, all audio manufacturers will come together to boycott creating lightning products, and all users will boycott iphones until they get rid of the proprietary connector but yea... we all know that's never happening.
I too wish that everyone will move faster towards USB C.
