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...

Now I wonder which is really better the ESS Sabre ES9023 or AKM AK4490 found in the DACport Slim.
Also just found this, I know it is a very different unit but it if uses the same chip one could just get a 3.5mm to RCA adapter no?, but for $50 bucks that DAC uses the same chip apparently. http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMeDIY-Digital-Analog-Converter-Optical/dp/B00AOH5JTQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1445089936&sr=1-1&keywords=ES9023
I was just wondering would this be a downgrade or potentially an upgrade that would actually make me want to purchase it aside from wanting the look/same brand units... basically would it be worth the $120 they are asking which is $20 more than the DACport Slim.
Massdrop could we get a picture with the ODAC outside the enclosure?
