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...

A tube amp is still on my bucket list. The setup I run is budget hi fi at its best.
Your DACPort Slim is perfect in a portable application with all manner of in-ear monitors and can certainly give you sound out of bigger cans. But open back Sennheisers are dedicated at-home headphones that want plugged-in power. I have a little home built headphone amp in an Altoids tin that uses 2 9-volt batteries, that does a decent portable job with Sennheisers.
But it can't give me good dynamic punch or volume. They are power hungry. Going back home to the Creek is always a massive upgrade.
