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'll probably do something like this with my LSR30X once they arrive.
The most effective way that I've found to use these Raspberry Pi based streamers is to, instead, flash the microSD card with DietPi and install Roon Bridge. They then become a Roon output/zone. Roon provides a much nicer interface, advanced DSP options, and better sound quality. Of course, this requires a 2nd PC (eg., Intel NUC) that's running Roon Server and attached to the same local area network as your Raspberry Pi(s). Once you have set up two or three of these zones, the power and flexibility of a centralized server starts to make sense. Think of it as "Plex for hi-fi audio" if you like.
Hope this helps.
