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 have no trouble accessing my NAS via ethernet. PC to USB and coax input have also worked fine. Sound quality was only OK with foobar, but improved a lot with native TEAC app on PC or Hysolid. Both of these apps, and also the TEAC iOS app, are pretty limited in terms of functionality, but they do not crash (well, rarely anyway) and the difference in sound is NOT subtle. Don't even think of using this with Mediamonkey. Jazz, classical, classic rock, and modern/urban all benefit. High bit PCMfiles are handled extremely well, and DSD files on this unit have literally produced the best sounds I have ever heard. Period. Upsampling to DSD helps many, but not all audio files. Poorly recorded or highly compressed sources may sound worse. And internet radio or streaming, while not supremely hifi, makes background, continuous, or random listening painless.
In sum, a great unit at a great price, buy it! I paid more before this drop and I'm still happy.
PS No microphone inputs. No analog inputs.
