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...

The amp is clean and has ample power for my HD650s.
But, I have the X6 and also recently picked up the Fiio Q1 Mark II, and I can hear a difference in the DAC quality. The Q1 sounds cleaner somehow? I believe the Q1 uses a DAC chip from the same family as the M6, so you may indeed get better sound out of a better dac than the X6.
Though, of course, sound quality is subjective and your milage may very. But i will the difference to me was noticeable with the HE350s stock even. So with the 6XXs you'll probably notice more of a difference.
