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 mainly travel with my Kumitate Lab KL-Kanon Custom IEMs, but also have a few more sets of customs, as well as ASG 2.5. I currently use android with an OTG connected Fiio E17K. The main reason I bought the E17K was because of the super granular bass settings. -10 to +10 in increments of 2 adjustments for bass and treble.
I like the idea of the android based DAPs, but it must have hardware buttons if it's droid based, so I can adjust tracks without looking.
Must have:
Balanced Headphone Output
Standard Charging and Connectivity Cables (Sony, you're out. NO proprietary cables!)
Physical Buttons for track advance/pause/vol/etc..
Granular EQ (more than just bass boost off/1/2), if Droid, OTG would be nice. I might use this DAP with a Mojo or my E17K in the future.
Budget: Let's say $650USD, approximately. I'm willing to spend 2K on CIEMs because they will last 10+ years, but a piece of technology.... not so much. Don't see the point in blowing 2K on A&K, although they are built very nicely. $1000 hard limit.
I'm currently considering the DP-X1A (About 600USD because I live in Japan) or XDP-300R.
