Meze silver plated and "regular" copper upgraded cables.
St. Louis, Missouri
Yes but it's ebay special litz copper occ. But I bought a DHC cable I'll mod to the Elite
This one I'm getting adapters to use between cans
This tube combo makes smoother deeper bass with hybrid pads.
This one is more vibrant with bass loosing thickness when hybrids used. This is where the alacantra and leather are better. Leather just has some short comings with space.

Good luck!! I’ve been looking for a while. Sold mine and regret it. It’s a great cable.
Regarding the Meze upgrade cables, the designers suggest the silver one mostly for use with tube amps and the copper for solid state pairings.
Good point, but what if you have a warm sounding solid state amp? I’d prefer to let as much details and clarity come through unabated from the headphones and alter the signal through my source chain. Cables are just a final tweak to sound and don’t alter the foundation of a headphone that much. At least that’s been my experience.
The above post was just a remark about a rough guideline.
Cables are very subjective matter as we all know...

What I do know is I need a better cable than the stock one that come with the Elites, haha!
Save 600 and get a silver cable from SkyAudioCables. They do the job very well. Real upgrade over stock cable (for Empy anyway).
Caveat: I am clearly not a cable expert.

Then my cable probably wouldn't be an attractive offer.
I don't really need the Meze cable but shipping costs kill it
That is true, the stock cable surely doesn't match the asking price.
An upgrade copper cable should be at least included into the package or alternatively we should be offered with all available plugs of the stock cable.
I am very upset with Meze regarding their accessory pack of the Empyrean and the Elite.
I don't even understand how a 4k iem/HP doesn't come with a first class cable.
We're not asking for a 1k cable, but at least a cable that can bring out the best in the device.
I can't even tell you my frustration trying to find some good upgrade cables for a Final Audio D8000 without shelling out $600. Thankfully there are options but it's very annoying.
Meze are also not the only ones, a lot of stock cables are terrible. The 64 Audio iem cable might take the crown for worst stock cable in a luxury item.

That's interesting.
Meze gives 2 earpads and a fully functional travel case.
They include only one cable with connector of choice as standard.
This is above average from my experience
Since you're very upset with it, which manufacturers offer base packages that do not upset you?
With Focal Clear Mg pro or non pro version we get an excellent carrying case and an assortment of cables or extra pads depending on the version.
With Sennheiser IE900 we get three cables and a nice case.
etc
