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 just got my HD6XX yesterday (Massdrop). I like the idea of slowly stepping up to more expensive amps (or DAC+amps). I currently have the FiiO E6 - been using it for a little while. Would that be enough with HD6XX? My setup will be this: FiiO X3 (2nd gen) for playing the music. I have a lot of music from HDTracks (and other Hi-Res music). I do have ATH-M50x and as of right now, I use X3 directly with them. I actually have *not* tried X3+E6 combo (not sure why not - but I guess had never thought about whether X3 alone can drive the M50x well or not. Clearly, something to try out!) Back to the original question: With the new HD6xx and the existing ATH-M50x, should I stick with E6 (and/or X3+E6)? Would that be enough? Or should I invest in E10 still? Or something else? I tend to have very acute hearing (bane of my existence - as one of my musician friend said "you have million dollar ears, buddy boy, but are p*ss poor"... sigh :( But I am not trying to get the best setup - money no bar... I tend to listen to a lot of rock, alternative rock, classic rock, blues, some jazz, some classical, some pop.
Thanks again, everyone!
