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...

First, the base of the USB circuitry is not Tenor any more but X-Mos based. So we are sure to have a software support also for upcoming OS like Windows 10.
Second, we now have a double-mone architecture with two converters per channel. This will not be noticeable in therms of THD or SNR but it sharpens our philosophy "no sound". V850 is more open, more detailed, has a bigger and deeper soundstage but still retains a maximum neutrality compared with V800. For our opinion all this is not due to the 32 bit deep conversion but has its source in the dual converters per channel and our refined analog output circuitry. To be honest, 32 bit deep processing is useful in mixing consoles or other equipment where data is merged, filters and equalisers are set or rooms are created. In a D/A converter, at the endpoint of digital data, it is nice to have but nothing more.
Third, there had been lots of customers asking for a remote control in the past because our D/A served to drive (active) speakers directly. DAC V850 offers the opportunity to be remote controlled !
And of course there is a better power supply, better signal tracing and much more details.
Other things which made V800 famous will remain: - The compact size - The range of digital inputs - The selectable range of resampling - The volume control in the digital domain - Five different analog output voltage settings without affecting the output impedance - Balanced and unbalanced outputs which can be used simultaneously because they have their own drivers
