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...

The sdac does have rca (red/white) out right? If your computer has headphone which it should you can try using a rca to 3.5mm cable like this one https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5598
For me, I will purchase the Audioquest Jitterbug as it look like it reduce usb noise and minimize jitter at the same time. there is also similar product from IFI audio iSilencer 3.0 ( for minimize jitter ) and the IDefender 3.0 ( for ground loop ). Others guys on forums have talked about the UpTone Audio USB REGEN too.
I do have a overkill MB due to what I use and it has internal shielding for its audio io so I always have that as a backup and I believe that this is now a common feature on all Asus mb's from z97.
I could also suggest trying a usb 2 or 3 port which is either different to see if it is a power interference / lack or if the make is better as my board has intel and asmedia usb ports.
