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.

I have an all analog McCormack main system with MAP1 preamp and HT5 amp (neither of which I will likely ever give up, especially the amazingly versatile MAP1). Anyway, in addition I have a Cambridge 752BD which upconverts all inputs to 24/192 via its Wolfson DACs and is a DLNA renderer to boot so it works great with JRiver over the cat5 network (I would likely not use USB). I am in the process of obtaining both Final Audio Pandora Vi and HIfiMan 400i headphones to pit against each other with the many hi-rez files and DVDA/SACDs I have (both cans have extremely low impedence!). How best would I send this high resolution 24/192 signal to be played through the headphones? Since the BD player already does the conversion, would a DAC be needed if I hooked it in coax or optical output from the Cambridge---or just a regular headphone amp? That is the confusing part in my case :)
