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.

My chain is 320kbps Mp3 or FLAC -> Eitr -> Mimby (Optical) -> Magni 3 -> K7xx
Please explain how this works to an audio newb
So he starts out playing 320kbps MP3's or FLAC (lossless) files on the PC which then go to the Schiit Eitr, which is a USB to SPDIF converter. Basically taking a USB input and changing it to a Digital Coax output. Mimby is slang for the Schiit Modi Multibit DAC. The sound goes from the Eitr to the DAC through the digital coax. The DAC converts the audio from Digital to Analog. The DAC then outputs the audio via RCA cables to the Magni 3 AMP, which amplifies the sound. The K7XX's are plugged into the Magni 3 AMP.
You can find more info on all three of those devices on the Schiit website (https://schiit.com)
