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...

My (probably ill-informed) question is this: would anyone out there happen to have any insight as to its performance as a DAC/amp? My casual googling has been unable to unearth any mention of its use in this manner, or or an actual DAC that may or may not be inside. But... there's got to be one in there, no? The Xenyx mic preamp has a decent reputation, but that's about all I've seen about it. I'll be getting it either way and will provide some commentary after I do, but I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried this and failed or not failed.
Thanks!
