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 Schiit Fulla. It's garbage. Regardless of how good the sound quality is, it picks up every electronic signal within 10 feet and is constantly glitching, crackling, full of usb noise and nearby transmissions. The volume knob is scratchy and horrible. The aluminum casing is sharp and cheap. I simply want to stop dealing with that. If I replace it with the CEntrance DACport Slim, am I getting equal to or better sound quality, without the QC issues, or taking a step down?
It is an interesting idea to mod the Slim into a DACport HD for $99, giving it 384kHz, DSD and lower noise. I think we would be open to that.
Any takers?
tbh I think enough people have been able to easily hear the noise floor on the slim. I think an overall new revision should come default on the units, or perhaps have gain options when ordering, similar to something like an O2+ODAC combo.
I was about to comment on how I can hear nothing even at max volume with my HD, in the event that HD does have lower noise I better keep my mouse away from the reply button :P
