Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Given the option of buying this, or buying a dx200 and flushing 1000 down the toilet, I'm certain I'd go with the dx200 and literally flushing money down the toilet.... Ak4490 in a dap of this price is madness.
Either way, this is a perfect budget for a nice, high end at home headphone with dac/amp components.
This is like putting a v6 from a kia optima in a Ferrari. It may be a fine chip, but at even half of this price is just absurd and there are far better options out there. The ak4490 is a nice chip, but it's got a reputation for being warm, not extremely detailed and easy to engineer. It's hard not to scoff at it's inclusion in a device of this price and wonder what they're trying to pull...
For 2k, 3500 MSRP you better have flagship DACs and not stuff that can be found in entry level gear like the cayin n3.
I mean the screen resolution doesn't even match $550 players.
I understand they're trying to appeal to the rich kids of Instagram demographic but to a group as OCD as audiophiles, they just end up looking like fools.... If I see you walking around with this my first thought won't be "wow, look at that wealthy person with impeccable taste!" it will be "I can't believe people are ok with buying something that is such a terrible value thinking it makes them look cool."
If you want to impress me, buy a hiby r6 or dx200 and donate the rest of the 2k to Charity....
