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 a question: Is it possible to use 3.5mm to RCA cable and use the phone as a source this way? Or is this a terrible idea? lol
Also, would you say these are better than the objective 2 amp + odac combo? and/or the Schiit Stack? If money were no object (on a budget T_T)
Anyway I'm rambling, if it's too much to ask so be it, no wukkas, but thanks for your advice so far!
Wandering: holy jeez! This is probably one of the best songs I've heard played through this rig. So much detail and I just love it. Sounds amazing.
Line of Fire: Some people will argue electro music isn't that great with tube amps. This is partly true as since tubes don't work as fast as solid state, you can get some muddiness. Personally, I think it sounds pretty fine. Just the bass isn't going to be hard hitting. You'll hear bass and sub bass, but it probably won't be in your face.
Automata OST: Again, just extremely detailed. I love the mens choir with this rig, just sounds warm and full. And the percussion is very great and heard, but isn't overtaking the mix which I personally love.
Overall, what you get with a tube is a relaxing sound. Most things will sound great, some EDM may not translate as well, but you're going to get a relaxing feeling. Kind of like a nice comfy recliner.
Matt, you're the best! I cannot thank you enough for the assist!
Personally I love the T1 and always recommend over ODAC+O2 and Schiit stack. And it works great with the HD6x0.
The area of the T1 have over the Objective and Schiit camps are its mids, the downside being much higher cost due to hidden costs of tube rolling.
The Schiit stack isn't competently neutral, if we're talking about the Modi/Magni stack, there is some colour in the mid bass. The ODAC+O2 in comparison is more neutral and less fatiguing, but it lacks dynamics.
I bought an ODAC+O2 when I compared it to the Schiit stack many years ago, but I probably would prefer the Schiit now because my tastes have evolved towards non-neutral.
