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...

Buy the CEntrance, you and any of your family won't regret it.
(EDIT: If you have the funds, I would also recommend looking into the Slim's regular model: the CEntrance Dacport HD. It has even greater output specs if you're looking for something to keep for a long while into the future)
This dovetails with my own personal experience across a dozen different DAC/amp/headphone/driver setups, in and out of a studio; there's no improvement in quality going from 96KHz to 192KHz, and even 96KHz sometimes sounds worse than 48KHz when using amplifiers/DACs ill-equipped to handle the higher sample rate (a lot of cheaper stuff seems to be built assuming that using a DAC chip supporting 96/192KHz is the only thing you have to change from a 48KHz design)
anyway my point is that while you're going to notice a difference in sound quality between the E10K and the CEntrance Slim, the sample rate / bit depth isn't going to be the thing responsible for it.
Thanks for pointing it out and going into the details for those who might be unaware.
