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...

Also, the headphone jack doesn't seem to work.. I plug in my HD650 and it just keeps on playing on the loudspeakers.
Is this a defective unit? Or is there something that I'm not doing right?
USB input will put out a fixed volume pre signal via RCA output (to your amp) - this is ALWAYS ON and does not mute. The volume is not adjustable... it's a fixed pre signal.
The RCA output will always be on regardless. There is no muting relay, so if you plug in headphones, the pre output will still be on while playing music into the T1.
Why don't you guys follow the link to the info thread on HeadFi? You'd get much better answers than some of the ones I see here. Google it.
sorry i didn't see your reply until now. If the RCA ouput will always be on, am I correct in understanding that this DAC/Amp won't switch to/from powered speakers and headphones? I'm pretty new with all this, and I just came from an Audioengine D1, which switched from headphone output and RCA output accordingly.
Currently, I disconnected the RCA output completely, so that it works just with headphones. It's a bit of an inconvenience to reach back to connect the RCA ouput to my speakers every time I want to use my speakers, but maybe I didn't quite understand this device's purpose. I just saw RCA out and headphone jack, and assumed the T1 will automatically switch audio outputs accordingly...
