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'm using an Audioengine D1 DAC/Amp. I may upgrade that to a Schiit stack or just pair a Magni 3 with it, but the D1 is actually holding up surprisingly well for most of the stuff I listen to regularly. I suspect that the D1 might not be optimal, but I'm also not feeling like I'm lacking anything either.
Really complex tracks with lots of stuff going on sounded terrific. Really powerful vocals sounded great too. The Jesus and Mary Chain, Tom Waits, and Regina Spektor sounded awesome. Little Walter just sounded lo-fi over these cans... which those recordings definitely are.
Anything with punchy bass sounded good, but I didn't find straight ahead rock to be all that great. Mellow tracks with a dreamy vibe didn't stand out either.
At this point, I still prefer my desktop speakers (Swan 1080-IV's), but someone advised that the 6xx's need a fairly lengthy burn in time.
Review to come in a day or two; awaiting the the Dark Voice 336se to possibly expand the sound stage.
