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 have the dc-1 feeding an Emotiva A-100 Bas amp, and using this amp for my headphone power. I have applied the jumpers on that amps ( see Emotiva manual, page 11) , and now I am routing all 50 watts of power to the headphones,.. holly shit!!1 u have to turn that dial on the amplifier very slowly and I cant pass 9 o'clock on the volume dial in fear of frying my headphones and my ears. the se out of the dc-1 provides amazing sound quality. I am using the USB input from my pc to play Spotify, and omfg,....the Sennheiser HD 650 & HD 600, the Hi-Fi man HE 400I, AND 350, AND THE AKG7XX, AND THE MONOLITH 1060 AND 560 & 565 ALL SOUNDED AMAZING.
THAT'S TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ON ALL THE HADPHONES I HAVE TRIED WITH THIS COMBINATION. THIS DC-1/A-100 BAS X PUT MY SCHIIT JOTENHEIM TO SHAME,....
I did join the MD on the cavalla LCX will see how it does but I am more then confident that my current setup would come on top, with any dedicated headphone amp. the sound is amazing, clear, detailed, strong, with excellent sound stage and mind blowing clarity. check out the Z review ( https://youtu.be/LKgA6qyOCWQ ) on this bas x Emotiva amp. I think the combo can run u 550-575 but it will be the last ha amp/dac u will ever buy, period.
DC-1 and Jotunhiem is now on my list.. Too hard to decide esp if you have limited budget..
