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 topping d30 outperforms dacs many times more expensive. DACs are a very mature technology, it doesn't take much to make a completely transparent dac nowadays. Just because there are many ways to make a dac doesn't mean any of these choices translate into audible differences.
That's not an assumption, it's a scientific fact. Sound signals is are not magic, if they measure well they will sound as expected, there is no "good" or "bad" sound as far as dac output is concerned, only good or bad signal. All a dac needs is to measure well and be transparent (not color the sound in any way). I seriously doubt you can tell the difference between a $150 dac and a $5000 dac in a double blind test.

If you can get a good one, it seems like a solid DAC, but there is some risk involved. It very much seems to suffer from being 'Made in China.'
