Audeze is producing more Sine headphones! (Or just releasing more for sale per Amazon.) Now, do I go for the Sine or keep my EL-8? I actually have an order at Black Friday pricing from an authorized retailer I’ve been waiting to be fulfilled. Actually a bit torn since I started loving the Sine once I realized that they sound way better as on-ear as intended rather than extended all the way down effectively as a shallow over-ear.

If you're a fan of the more spacious sound of the EL8, personally I wouldn't get rid of it and replace it with the Sine. I like both, but they sound very different from each other.
Was there some fear of it being discontinued? It's available at many online retailers and you can get it quite cheap used too.
It actually was discontinued last year, which I confirmed with Audeze.
Oh did not know! I do hope they come out with a new version of it. It's a great headphone and Audeze needs something like it that's in the more affordable price range for consumers.

FWIW, the open back version became available at Audeze website.
Beautiful, but $599 (the same price as LCD2C) is too rich for my blood. Still very interested in buying a LCD-2 or better in the future. For now portable and Cipher fits my life better.
EL-8 Titanium has more of a wow effect on first impression, but I do miss the Sine. I think the Sine might have had a better overall sound signature, I’m a bit ambivalent in which is better. There was something magical about the Sine as well...
Pretty sure I saw the LCD2C go up to $799 on my birthday, 1 Feb.
I now effectively have the EL-8 Titanium with the EL-8 closed 2016 + cipher cable, still curious as to how that differs from the Sine sound.
When I was trying to decide between EL-8 and Sine I came across this review: http://www.metal-fi.com/audeze-sine-and-el-8-headphones/Pretty sure I saw the LCD2C go up to $799 on my birthday, 1 Feb.

I bought the Sine with Cipher cable.
Now I have to wait patiently on the DAP.
I made a couple cables that look just like that, but they are single endedbalanced cable is ready.
Now I have to wait patiently on the DAP.
I was going to make a 2.5mm balanced one at some point (if and when I get a balanced amp)

Oppo PM-3 clones?

Cool that you ended up with the EL-8, it’s a great headphone for the money. I actually asked Audeze if the FR on the Titanium differs from the closed version.
EL-8 and Sine are both musical detail-resolving headphones, and I’m still not sure which is better which is a definite compliment to the Sine since EL-8 is also a great headphone. I think Sine is more neutral overall even with the Cipher.
