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 have heard of this Amir person being mentioned in various forums, and good to finally see his review.
I am sure he has a lot more knowledge on electronics, and his test equipment would suggest he is a pro in this field.
While reviews are certainly helpful (hence convinced me to get the R2R-11 and audeze lcd-2 in the first place), one needs to make sure the reviewer and the reader are listening to similar things.
I have had my R2R-11 for a couple months, and I am so happy with it that I ordered the R28. What Amir can't measure are my ears and what I hear, and his review tells me that his ears and mine are incompatible. Not wrong, just incompatible.
I've had various home audio equipment, the most expensive being wilson watt puppy 8 speakers and powered by Jadis DA50 signature amp, with a Goldmund cd player (had a meridien but most of my CD's started to skip so upgraded).
My dad has a simple Quad 66/606 (includes the largest remote control on earth) with a mundane Infinity emit tower speakers, sony ES555 cd player, and in some ways, that was better cause it allowed me to enjoy my music than to become analytical... this was the system that i grew up listening to.
Measurement wise, i am sure the wilson/jadis will trample the quad/infinity anyday... but I prefer it as an everyday listening system on certain music. Sometimes I don't want to hear a band member breathing through their nose in the background
Bottom line is, I know what i like to hear, irrespective of what measurements show.
End rant.

Let haters be haters, the AudioGD R2R sound is the best for my humble ears :) I've ended up with the Audio GD R2R-R1 + NFB1-AMP stack as my desktop end game.
Having said that, the Aune S6 is a very nice sounding DAC/Amp, and there is enough power for HD6xx owners. I gave my unit to my brother, he's paired it with the Massdrop CTH amp for flavour.
