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...

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer this over my UDA-1 in my office, but I got that $800 MSRP unit for $220 shipped and it also powers my bookshelf speakers so I don't always have to listen through my cans. I'd have to get a separate amp if I replaced it with this. So given the preamp capabilities, I'd be looking at the m920 to take my turntable, Apple TV optical connection and iMac USB and feed it into the A21. In this case I just wonder if I'm better off spending $800-$900 on a standalone DAC and another $500 on something like the Luminous Axiom II that strengthens my SQ a little more. The remote capabilitie of this unit do bring in the convenience factor.
If you are looking for a standalone DAC, the Schiit Yggdrasil is one of the best DAC's I've heard to date. They also make a multibit upgrade for the Gungnir at a little over half the cost of the Yggdrasil that also sounds excellent and mostly as good as the more expensive Yggdrasil (I actually went to the product launch and heard it before it went public the next day).
Will there be a new drop for the m920 in the next three months?
