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...

There is noticeable hiss when I use them on my phone or computer, either with no DAC (of course), or using a GeekOut IEM, DACPort Slim HD, or DACPortable. All decent portable DACs in their own right
Would the Mojo eliminate the hiss? Obviously I see it has a crazy low THD. I believe that is the stat to care about for hiss, correct? If it would eliminate the hiss I would like to get it and end my search for a great portable DAC. Any help would be appreciated. Obviously this would be an expensive purchase, and I don't really want to buy it just for pure sound quality reasons--my other DACs are fine for my needs (except the slight hiss).
So again, if the signal for the Mojo is super clean, I would be interested in picking one up and hopefully being done searching for my ideal portable DAC. I am just pretty uninformed, so I'm trying to make sure it will do the trick before spending the money. I'm not even positive that THD is the correct piece of info for me to be looking at for the particular problem I'm trying solve.
You can mod your mojo like I did. I had an RF shield installed inside, and the hiss is also slightly decreased from new capacitors & 3.5mm plug.
