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...

Here is a couple more reviews worth checking out: http://www.qobuz.com/be-fr/info/hi-fi/bancs-d-essai/ha-200-nuforce-headphone-amplifier174997 - it is another one where the reviewers have been 'blown away', they of course dislike the apparent inability to control the volume of 2-stack as one http://hifipig.com/nuforce-dac80-and-ha200/ - these guys also like it a lot, they note one of the pros being 'Surprisingly low price for such great performance' and this is considering MSRP.
This thing is tempting :/ really tempting, and that ain't good at all :( I already have quite good fully balanced class A amp (Yulong A28, I think is great actually). Would it be an upgrade of sort? Possibly, but how does one know without A-B-ing them.
What is tempting here is that two of these are not only cheaper, but will have truly/physically separate left/right circuits with no chance for interference, however minute that might be. And the built looks good, weighs almost 5 lbs, each channel with it's own toroid transformer and pretty sizable too, and easy to upgrade the opamp (OPA2134) with many options including top discrete models ... Oh shoot, I gotta quit working myself into buying two of these, because I don't need them ... I don't need, I don't need, I don't need, I don't need ... but Gollum wants precious ...
