As you probably already aware, Odin’s sound is not tuned as a smooth and warm signature. I may be wrong but I suspect it’s tuning intention was to provide a reference-like sound signature with outstanding clarity. I like how clear and airy it sounds on everything but I do experience some high frequency spikes in some parts of certain songs (certain female vocal sections with very high pitch and it’s not sibilance). Judicious volume control is required for some songs as high volume seems to exacerbate the phenomenon. It is also not forgiving on low resolution files/sources and bad recordings. Other than this, the Odin sound is very good and quite unique.

it really works wonders for the Hero, its seems to widen the soundstage, smooth out the peaks a little in the treble while also giving the treble more extension. A good combo. I also tried the plussound X8 Silver + Gold on Hero, this paring wasn't so pleasant. I definitely think Hero benefits from Copper but I'd imagine you'd also be able to get a similar result to the tri-copper when using with a SPC cable. I believe plussound sell a cheaper SPC variant as well. Worth a look!
