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 bought one of these a few months ago for $968 when they were on sale at Shenzhenaudio and love it. It is really underappreciated compared to their DA8 II (which I also own) and a lot of DAC/amp for the money.
The DA9 is incredibly solid in its build quality and just a really nice, clean sounding and musical amp to listen to. I keep flipping back and forth between my Chord Hugo TT and the DA9 as my all-day listening amp while I am working (mainly with EM-U Teaks but also sounds great on Fostex TH900s and Sennheiser HD650s). It is just so easy and non-fatiguing to listen to.
My only complaint is that the DSD256 USB DAC drivers were finicky to get installed on Window's 10. Yolong has several versions of the DA9 drivers up on their support site with very little info about the differences or which one you should be using. Also, for some reason serial numbers below 70 (which includes mine) require a different driver (this is only mentioned in a cryptic text file included in one of the driver downloads).
I am actually really surprised this amp has not gotten more love and reviews on Head-Fi and other sites.
