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.

I bought IlDivo CD for few bucks and wanted to see if I make FLAC if it would sound exactly the same.
I hooked up my Sony DVD player to Peachtree DAC via optical or coaxial cable. Also connected my laptop to my DAC via usb and play the CD from internal optical drive. Listened to the songs.
Then I converted my CD to FLAC. Laptop connected to my DAC via usb. Listened to the songs.
I can note the differences at some high frequencies and instruments.
repeatedly noticible.
It all goes through same DAC and same AMP.
So I tried with different softwares to convert to FLAC but results were the same.
I thought Lossless FLAC would be able to provide the same CD audio but it did not.
Can anyone pount out what I might have done wrong or if you experience the same?
CD's are far, far,,, far from perfect as many think they are.
A simple proof, would be simply to buy a known good FLAC of your IIDivo, and play that: http://store.acousticsounds.com/a/29122/Il_Divo , this is a win-win as you end up with a 24 bit file. Please no MP3 / 320 stuff... the nemesis of music...
