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...

Do you think going from the Denon AVR to the Shiit Magni 3 would be a big improvement? Thank you so much in advance
I have the same Onkyo CD Player and I find that I have more than enough volume.
What I have done is use the Toslink out to an input on my control receiver. I use the Line Out to connect to a Schiit Vali 2 which is located next to my favorite listening chair. I chose the Vali because I enjoy the tube effect.
I have no idea how the addition of some Schiit would affect how your ears would respond.
BTW - I'm a Classical music lover and that's 100% of my critical listening.
You may also try ONKYO C-7030 -> MODI 2 -> MAGNI 3. That way you can benefit from the DAC outputs of your CDP. It may sound better/different. And you can use cables to get your preferred sound.
Ive owned and heard the phone’s output of the C-7030. Not the final word in resolution or refinement. It’s a good player for the money but you can easily improve the sound by adding an external DAC. The Magni3 as ive mentioned would definitely improve the sound with the 6XX. And it will sound excellent with the MODI2.
It’s up to OP how far he wants to go. I wasn’t suggesting DAC rolling. You asked a question and I merely answered it. Nothing more.
So far OP hasn’t asked any questions so I figured he got the suggestion. Am leaving it as that. Enjoy yr 6XX.
My primary listening is film score music, and I only listen CDs (originals of course, love collecting them) John Williams, Zimmer, Goldsmith, etc.. and for that purpose, which would be a better match for my Onkyo and my 6XX; Magni3 or Vali ? or maybe even a better option in that price range.
Thanks so much guys.
Though contemporary reproduction systems can be truly magnificent, we are still at the mercy of the original recordings. To that end, I have ordered a Schiit Loki. You might check it out. Many consider the concept to be old fashioned or even heresy. To me, it's only logical. When it arrives I'll share my reactions.
If you really want to go all out, there is the Schiit Mjolnar 2. The best of both worlds.
So about the Vali.. being an hybrid is it true it doesn’t have a “real” tube quality sound? at least that’s what I’ve read.
There is absolutely nothing wrong or lacking with the Magni. It is a exceptional pairing with the 6XX!
Thank you guys!
