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 already have a magni 2, vali and modo 2 uber from schiit.
I also have nodded T50RP, Grados, and 8 other headphones.
I am looking at:
Darkvoice LITTLE Dot ii or iii Schiit Valhalla 2 Jotenheim Cavalli by Massdrop
The HD6xx are the most important headphones to have at their best for me... I listen to Rock, Jazz, Acoustic/folk, and some Classical
Update: I picked up an Asgard 1 used... I love it with my T50RP and HD598
I'm tempted by the Cavalli... more confused than ever....
Having used balanced equipment before on stage, in the studio, and in car audio... I thought balanced might be better.
I do like my vali better than the magni 2 with my HD598, HE350, AKG240, and T50rp mk iii with mods... although magni 2 is better with the Grado, Sony MDR6V, Vmoda, Shures, Polks.
I really want to make the HD6XX shine... but if the solution has other benefits, that is great too.
For most of those tube amps listed, I don't think much will change from your current vali to justify an addition. You can just as easily tube roll. The Darkvoice would be the most drastic of the ones listed since its not a hybrid amp. The Jot would be the most different since it is solid state, but I'm unsure if its such a drastic enough change from the Magni. Certainly an upgrade though.
If you refuse to go that path, I would say Valhalla
