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.

Under $200 you'll be looking at Magni+Modi, O2+ODAC or Aune x1s. The Schiit stack will have enough power to drive anything, the O2+ODAC and Aune will have better clarity. Aune has the best mids out of all 3... I don't like the O2+ODAC or the Schiit stack much.
There are other $200 options I'm sure, but I haven't listened to them to give any objective advice.
