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...

But if you have or want a to use a separate AMP this could be a perfectly good option. Personally I prefer a single DAC/AMP unite with good power.
Many people rave about the HD6000/HD560 with a tube AMP. I've never tried a tube AMP but if/when I get and HD600/650 I want to get a tube AMP to try with it.
I currently own an Audio-GD NFB-11 (2014 edition) and find it excellent, very clean. Also own an iFi iDSD Black Label and it also very good. I find the NFB-11 to be a bit cleaner sounding, while the iDSD is a bit more "fun" sounding. Both excellent though. Sometime this year I'd like to get an Audio-GD R2R 11 as an upgrade.
As for cheaper, I'm not sure. Next time there a drop on a Topping D30 (DAC) and A30 (AMP) I want to get one and try. I hear there pretty good for the price.
A Schitt Stack might be an option, but not sure how they pair with the HD650. To compete with my Audio-GD I'd probably have to look at their higher end gear which would start to get pricey.
Aside from that if you need just an AMP I have a Guarge1217 Porject Polaris (solid state) AMP that is think is very good. I'd try one of their other tube AMPs for the HD650.
I also have heard good thins about the Aune X1S, but have no first hand experience.
