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...

I think they sound amazing with the ear-gear that I have. I'm using mostly my Audeze iSine20's and it is a truly wonderful player and that is with the SE connection. I ordered a pair of balanced cables, since I greatly favor balanced-out. I also have a pair of RHA T20s that I really dig.
I know what you're getting at ;-). Research has shown the average person can't tell the difference between MP3, 44.1, 88.2, 96, etc... I also know that most people who listen to music don't know how to critically listen to a recording for quality, nor do they care. I bet you don't care and yet, here you are in the Audio section of Massdrop.com. If you think that buying high resolution audio tracks is a waste of time, why waste your time commenting on a DAP that you wouldn't buy. Why do I think you wouldn't buy it? Because it isn't worth the money if you can't hear the difference between 44.1/16 and 88.2/15 or 96/24. I've been buying tracks all the way up to DSD128 and comparing the differences and I have to say, I'm perfectly fine with 96/24. That's my limit. I can't tell the difference at the highest levels and I think that I have some pretty good gear that could reveal the differences. It must be my ears.
All of that being said, the whole point is to dig your music. If listening to music puts a smile on your face, then you've won the debate. When is the last time that you listened to your music on your gear and said, "Wow, I never noticed that before!". I have that experience a lot of the time that I listen to the same music that I've been listening to for years. I've listened to a *lot* of different audio systems and every now and then I am blown away and get giggly over what I've just heard. *That* is worth paying for. It does not happen all of the time. Right now, as I type this, I'm listening to 192/24 of the Grateful Dead 5/8/77 (Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) show. Excuse me while I get all giggly. I don't know, it must be the music.
