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 also has a DAC/preamp out on the back with fixed and variable, so you can run some actives with them or go into an OTL tube down the line if you like.
As far as which DAC is better, it's kind of nitpicky. There are a lot of ways you can flavor the sound inside using jumpers and dip switches, but I've not seen any need to. It delivers extremely uncolored neutral sound.
The ONLY way to buy them is to email them directly. They'll get back to you quickly with a quote including shipping. They primarily build for the chinese audiophile market, and they take a lot of pride in the product they make.
One of those things that should probably just be included in the base price, and probably will be on the 2018 version.
But if you were planning on getting a reclocker, then there's not much point getting the TCXO upgrade. What I mean by reclocker is something like a Hiface or Audiophilleo.
Maybe I'd run a reclocker before a stax power center, but it's probably not a really important thing in this price range.
I smell some shilling here.
I have Sennheiser HD800s and an HDVA 800 (both are 1600US) and I also have an ODAC/O2 and honestly, the gap in performance isn't worth it. The ODAC/O2 is an incredible value.
Also, have you used jot or audio gd?
If you have a turn table though... totally spend the extra for the Jotenheim since it can mount a passive phono module.
