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...

Blasphemy! What is more transparent than transparent? No amount of money could possibly provide a better listening experience. After all, all headphones present ideal loads and behave identically under load. And only a prima donna would want to use a 1/4" plug without an adapter (because all proper 'desktop' headphones have 3.5mm plugs) or want to have the power cable exit from the back. After all, sound quality is the only important criterion when judging audio equipment.
Also, not sure why you think headphones all provide ideal loads, they do not. Impedance changes with the frequency and loads are constantly fluctuating.
I was just anticipating the O2 circle jerk and trying to point out some of the 'flaws' of the amp. I actually own two, one standalone and one O2/ODAC combo. I'm currently using the O2/ODAC for my gaming rig, and it does fine. I used it as my main music amp for maybe a year, but I rarely use it for music anymore, as I don't like the sound compared to other amp/DAC combos I own, especially for planars (and... cue people telling me I'm imagining things because it has no sound in 3... 2... ).
