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 Q5 use a Texas Instruments TAS5342 chip vs a TDA7498E used in the SA-98E.
I have a Q5 pro attached to a Amazon Echo Dot, running into a pair of CEntrance Master Class speakers. It sounds fanastic.
The problem is, I leave this setup on 24/7, and the blue digital number display of the Q5 is always on. I fear it will burn itself out over time.
Plus I don't make use of the DAC or other features of the Q5, so those are wasted in my application.
This simple, one purpose power amp seems to fit the bill better, but I am enjoying the sound of my Q5 setup so much, I'm hesitant to change it without more information on how the two amps compare.
