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...

I was also seriously considering JDS labs El Dac, which goes for $250, mainly because of the AK dac. However, I've resolved that my next DAC purchase should include dual dacs, which unfortunately the EL DAC uses a single AK.
Guys, I think I found my next DAC purchase. I've been a very happy Topping customer so far, and am sure I'll enjoy this--especially with dual ess9038q2m's :)
NOTE: HOLY CRAP I AM SO PISSED. I just discovered the Xuelin IHIFI790, which has the AK4490SEQ. GRR, i would've bought that had I known! Although the 780 w/ its wolfson WM8740 sounds great! I am a full believer in the Xuelin sound now!
Care to share any AK external DAC's in this price point? Usually the items I find are specifically DAP's (although this certainly qualifies and has the extra bonus of acting as a DAP too).
I'm going to save my money and put it into some headphones. Maybe the HE-560 :)
Also got my eye on the Aeons...but I might get the HE-560 instead. They are half price of the Aeons these days.
