He he he, the wait is long but definitely worth it. Peter is like Moon Audio and ALO Audio, not ******** audio crap, actually real skill, cable metallurgy and electrical understanding.
As for the improvements, well yes the Audeze EL8 Titanium project was part of the Sine project too, and led to a big overhaul of all but three headphones.
The EL8 Ti have these changes as standard and that's been reflected to the 2016 EL8 CB and EL8.
The 2015 EL8 models are phased out.
That means that the 2016 EL8 CB is now the same as EL8 Ti internally.
If you want to buy an EL8 you might need to check when was the headphone inspected/serial number/date of manufacture to see if the EL8/EL8 CB you'll pick up is new or not.
Anyone getting the EL8 Ti are fine.
Imo, the 2016 EL8 series are such a change from the 2015, I'd almost categorise them as new headphones.
But back to DHC, I'm massively enjoying the Molecule Elite Fusion 4-Wire balanced cable with my EL8 Ti and Onkyo DP-X1 in AGC mode. The cables greatest effect is dimensionality; stock cables sound claustrophobic when switching between cables.
Anyway, it's late in the UK, time to sleep.
Nn.
