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...

Is this worth picking up for a different sound signature or would I be wasting my time what do you guys think?
because, DACs are not an art or music, but science! you can check some factors.
like Frequency Response(FR), noises, distortions, stereo corsstalk, etc.
IMHO, You can't feel audible noise, nonlinerity with yours. you don't need additonal DAC (yes I know, anyway new DACs are good for refresh our mind and happy present for us)
I thiank you said Frequency range, that is just company's CM..
You should know why O2 and ODAC was made.
"Objective"........
FR is not just 00Hz-00kHz

But, Anyway I can say that Personally I don't like them.
Theses daysTube Amp's purposes are little different Make kinda noise , good to listen. someone may like it! (I'm not anyway lol)
Also Some Tube amp's are really Hi-Fi but too High cost.
To me, AMP is only for AMPing = No sound change, Only control the Volume
______________ tube amp's noise make sound rich, yes somebody says warm and rich sound, but not stable physically, short life
solid state amp's nois are really NOISE, but many solutions to make them really small ,even can't be audible! also really stable and long life
difference of tubes and solid states Harmonics
For High Fidelity, Solide state "may" better efficiency BUT! final answer is My-Fi, Your Preference Is The Most Important For YOU!!
Psychological parts are REALLY BIG! we can't ignore
