Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

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...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Edit: Also would bet my old rooted Android phone with ViperFX and a sub $50 DAC has the same quality.
The reason this Dedicated Music Player is better is due to a variety of factors. 1) No Touchscreen: A player not having a touchscreen may sound like a bummer, but in reality, touchscreens utilize so much processing power which is already a scarce commodity in a portable devices. There is more to this, but I will elaborate further later. 2) No multitasking: Dedicated music Players are exactly that, they simply play music. They don't have to receive emails, browse the internet, stream YouTube videos, send and receive text messages, etc, etc.. once again more to this but I will explain later.. 3) Internal Components: Dedicated Music Players have internal components that have been tested and proven to be superior to your standard components found in smartphones. They have Low-Pass Filters, Buffers, amplifies, and Digital to Analog chips (DAC's) that the majority of the audiophile community has experimented and rolled till their ears were sent to auditory heaven. 4) Implementation: This is where it all comes together.. Having all the internal components is like having a Football player that can ace the combine in every category.. just because they can run a 40-yd dash in 4 seconds flat doesn't mean they will know where they are going with all that speed. In addition, having all the components working together in perfect synergy helps, but you also need clean power sources and minimum variation in processor speeds, and minimal Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Which can be introduced by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cellular signals. Therefore, if a player doesn't have them, the better off the signal to noise will be. The Shanling M5 has all of the above factors that are beneficial in producing the perfect sound every time you load your favorite song, and has the power to power almost any set of cans you wish. Sure there are other players that have more bells as whistles, hence why they cost more, however, remember what I said, by introducing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cellular services, you will introduce unnecessary EMI into the sound signal. I truly believe that for $400 there isn't a player on the market that can compete with how clean of a signal this produces.
