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...

EDIT: Looks like they've just come out with a price, a real bargain at $299!
The Liquid Carbon is far from characterless, it is obviously and admittedly on the warmer side which is, as said, my preferred sonic signature. It's a lot mellower, it does smooth out your headphones and tries to mask flaws (either upper frequency peaks or just badly recorded music) - it's up to you whether that is a good thing or not. I like it and I think it's a useful feature to have if you own brighter headphones.
Just depends on what you're looking for.
It depends on the headphones you're using - if I'm going by the amplifiers' sound signature alone then yes, I prefer the LC. The Jotunheim is very capable however and it'll be a better all-rounder for someone who plans on only owning one amp rather than multiple.
I personally don't think there's any point getting a DAC these days that isn't a multibit one by Schiit unless you're spending like over 3 grand on it these days, maybe others would disagree.
If you plan on potentially expanding on both your headphone as well as amplifier collections down the line then maybe the LCX is worth a shot as it sounds heavenly with certain headphones, it's the kind of unit that you come home from work and sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and just listen to music. Maybe eventually that'll be something you value, it for sure is to me.
I currently have a JDS OL Dac and O2 which I'm really enjoying with HD6XX. It makes my Dacport slim sound overly warm and muddy and just lifeless. I was hoping to go in on this drop as the LC + OL dac looks like a great all rounder for all my headphones / IEMs and low listening levels. I don't mind a slight warm tilt... but I'm just a little concerned if it's too far from neutral It might veil some of that higher end clarity on the 650s like with the Dacport, as I don't have money for more amps.
