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 have narrowed my choices down to: - Schitt Magni 2 & Modi 2, B-stock, uber versions. - JDS O2 & OL DAC , B-stock, customised. - Audio-GD NFB-11.28.
They're all sitting at around the $300 US mark delivered for me, which is about what I'm willing to spend. Headphones will be used for pretty much everything, from music, movies, PC gaming to PS4 (Hence the optical input)
I'm currently leaning towards the NFB-11.28 at the moment, but as this is my first AMP / DAC purchase I'd like to get opinions from people more knowledgeable than myself.
Cheers.
Edit: Listening to my DT990 (250 ohm) on the Uber Stack.
@Sempiternal , i have the same problem like you.. My budget is from $300-$400 for Dac/Amp.. I wonder if Audio GD is better from the 2 listed here.
Haven't pulled the trigger on anything just yet as I still have months to decide on something. Audio-gd has released the R2R 11 recently as well, which is also around that price range. http://www.audio-gd.com/R2R/R2R11/R2R11EN.htm I'm waiting on some reviews of that, wonder how it would pair with the 650's
I was thinking of getting the Vali 2 + Modi 2 instead. But since i have more time on choosing which dac / amp to choose i think i'll do a few more research or maybe stretch my budget for this 6xx..
Got a quote for 340usd shipped to my country... i guess 9% off + paypal fees..
The R2R.11 is quite interesting as well..
Can you test it with other headphones or earphones that you have?
Yeah, i saw the thread on Headfi and it's positive.. Audio GD just release a dedicated r2r Dac like the R2R.11. I saw the link but it's in chinese. Maybe they will update their site with EN version soon..
Please take my review with a grain of salt though. I've had great speaker systems before but this is my first headphone amplifier of this class. I have to say I couldn't be more pleased. Not sure I'm going to have any use for the CTH I ordered.
I've been reading alot about the R2R.11 lately and that stopping me to buy it.. I've read about the pop/clicks between songs. Have you experienced this?
Thanks
Does the pop/click occurs on between songs on every files you feed to it? Some people say the pop/click occurs when the file change sample rate. If that is the case i might have no problem since my usual files are 16/44..
