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 like this dac/amp a lot.
I've used it with the Neutron Player app on my smartphone, and also streaming Pandora. It works fine with both. But those are the only two apps I've had extensive experience using it with, so can't comment on the others.
Ironically, I was never able to get the TEAC Player app to work satisfactorily on my phone, so abandoned that.
Keep in mind that with a micro USB output jack from the phone, you will also need an OTG adapter in order to get everything to work properly.
With a short USB cord into a short OTG adapter, you will have something like a 6" cable coming out of your phone and looping back into your DAC/amp.
Such a thing is not a big deal for me, as I tend to listen when I have time to sit and spread out. But if you are constantly moving, it might be handier to have a longer, more flexible, cable that can be partially coiled, so you don't knock against the stiffness of the shorter cables and damage the jacks.
I understand that USB C has OTG built in. In which case you don't have to mess around with an adapter.
But I'm happy with this DAC/Amp. It has a more open, airy sound than a Chord Mojo. I find that with my Audio 64 U10s, the sound is very, very involving and almost hypnotic.
