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.

Since everyone here has been super helpful, I wanted to ask for advice on purchasing a dedicated headphone amp.
I currently use the Dragonfly Red as a DAC/Amp at work, and while I love it I think I could probably get better sound by using the Dragonfly as dedicated DAC and running it into a standalone headphone amp.
My main set of headphones are Beyerdynamic T1 2d gens. I will probably also use the amp to power my Hifiman 4XX and Sennheiser 6XX.
My budget is flexible, part of my question is whether its worth it to invest big money (over $600) in an amp -- the consensus is that there are diminishing returns.
