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...

There are many well informed people on many forums who have ripped apart the NwAvGuy mantra that nothing sounds better than an ODAC. I urge people to think for themselves, avoid the dogmatic rants of shills like yourself, research and above all, listen for themselves.
All "R-2R dacs are shit"... DSD a "useless feature"... don't fail us now... what else are we wasting our time & money on? Please go further down the talking point list.
Damn, I really wanted that DAC with a CSAC Rubidium tick-tock clock... guess an OXCO will have to suffice...
Pick your team:
Shirts: Digital is just digital?
Skins: Data corruption is inherent in isochronous USB transfers, means should be taken to maintain data integrity, to reduce the level of muting and substitution that DAC's have to perform, to increase SQ?
I am not trying to shut down debate, just dogma. To say that according to ones opinion a particular product is over priced, or poorly built or does not sound very good because of a variety of reasons that you explain could be a valuable contribution to a discussion that might help others in their research. But to make an unqualified, mass or faulty generalization (a fallacy of defective induction) like the one you made, "anything more expensive than an ODAC is a waste of money" because "There is no discernable difference capable for the human ear to pick up" does not invite debate nor does it contribute to a discussion in a useful manner. If you had said, "for me, anything more expensive than an ODAC is a waste of money because my ears are not capable of picking up differences between most DACs" or " for me, anything more expensive than an ODAC is a waste of money because the rest of my chain is not capable of scaling beyond an ODAC" than no one would be bothered by your comments.
