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...

So if the firmware in a USB DAC allows it, both Linux and Windows 7 are perfectly capable of sending the files for decoding.
What media player are you using in Linux?
We'll have to check if the new Windows UAC2 driver is going to support 705.6kHz PCM (and this DSD256 DoP). I'm guessing that most users (of stereo DACs) will migrate to that driver instead of Thesycon. I've tested this driver up to 384kHz PCM & DSD128.
Where are you finding DSD256 files? Is there any practical value in supporting this format? I think my point maintains - I don't think you're going to find recordings in that format unless they are just re-sampled from DXD or some other lower bit-rate recording. The clear disadvantage is that the files are HUGE.
I also bitstream the "native" DSD256 files directly to the DACs using foo_dsd_asio on foobar in Windows, rather than encapsulating in DoP.
DSD256 files are becoming more and more available. Through nativedsd as DJ15 just linked and through other high-resolution digital media providers
