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 only complaint came when I hooked up my Sennheiser HD580 (300 ohms impedance, essentially the same driver as the HD600). I required full volume to get close to the sound I was getting from my Sennheiser Momentum headphones (18 ohm impedance). My initial reaction was to flip the Aune over and set the gain up; to my surprise the unit was delivered with the dip switches set to the max 16db gain. The Aune T1 doesn't come close to properly driving high impedance headphones IMHO. I pulled out my Fiio E17 and it drives the HD580's to levels far higher than comfortable listening levels so it is not the headphones.
Has anyone else tried higher impedance headphones with success using the Aune? Hope it doesn't have a bad amp section because it sounds so good otherwise; both channels are well balanced throughout the volume control range and the added dynamics are spectacular.
