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 need recommendation for DAC/AMP/Combo that meets the following requirements.
1) Able to drive some ~$300 headphones (not sure what to get yet but looking into this price point) and JBL LSR305 speakers.
2) Digital input should include both TOSLINK and USB because I will attach my desktop and laptop to it. Need to be able to switch between the two sources.
3) Need volume knob.
4) Hopefully under $200 total. The only alternative I know of is the Schiit Uber Stack but that is $300.
5) Good sound quality of course.
Thanks!
