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...

It would have looked a lot nicer if you'd gone with an (admittedly, much larger) matching chassis!

Hmm, I dislike the way everything had to be shoehorned in, with no room available for stereo RCA plugs on the unbalanced output and minimal separation between sockets to allow for larger plugs (and fingers!). After all, it's not meant to be a portable solution.
And while I'm happy to see the coax input, I would have liked an optical input too. Was that left out for reasons of panel space, or to save costs?
> -USB 2.0 to support more filetypes, very high resolution
Well yeah I guess, but seriously how many USB DACs don't offer USB 2.0 support these days?
I would have loved a nice display panel on the front so you know exactly what sort of signal the unit is receiving, and what it's doing with it.
And of course the question of single/dual DAC chips, how was the balanced signal implemented and what is the effect of this on the quality of the output?
I realise that addressing all of these suggestions would have resulted in a unit with a significantly higher price tag, but I suspect a higher price that a lot of owners of "our THX or LCX amps" would have been happy to pay :)
