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.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been starting to get more into hifi and recently hopped on the HiFi-Man HE4XX Drop for my first "Audiophile" headphone. That being said I've been listening to vinyl for about a year, and I use a U-Turn Orbit Custom with Grado Black Cart, built in Pluto pre-amp and audio-engine A2+ speakers. However, I'm going to move those speakers to a TV and use the HE4XX's with a Massdrop x Cavalli CTH amp with that turntable.
My question is, based on your experiences, how does vinyl compare with a lossless audio file as far as audio quality and overall listening experience. In that same vein, what sort of DAC would you recommend for the CTH/HE4XX combo?
Thanks, and any other recommendations for cables/cartridges/other gear would be greatly appreciated!
