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...

It quotes Dynamic Range in two places: 20-22kHz bandwidth: 112dB 20-22kHz bandwidth and A weighting filter: 115dB And then further down: 20-22kHz bandwidth, 0dBFS = +20dBu (AES17 filter): 117dB 20-22kHz bandwidth, 0dBFS = +20dBu (A-weighted): 119dB Not sure what the difference is? Is it the Dynamic Range at the headphone output and then the Dynamic Range at the line outputs?
Then, the maximum output, 5.1V at the line outputs seems quite hot to me, seems like that will clip the input on standard consumer amplifiers quite quickly? I thought 2V was the standard?
Volume control: is that analog or digital attenuation?
As for output level on the line outs. Setting the m9XX volume at "90" is unity gain and provides a 2V output level for 0dBFS.
