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.

I usually have zero problems finding ways to spend my money on audio kit, but I’m having trouble finding just the right match for my current use case. Here is what I am looking for:
A decent quality Bluetooth and USB DAC only, with no headphone or speaker amp. Additional inputs (optical, coax, etc.) are OK, but really no desire to spend on them. Small form factor, ideally with an understated design (i.e., doesn’t light up like a Christmas tree). It will be for ambient music from in-wall speakers, so need not be hifi. It will be feeding an Appj mini 2013. And all of this for (hopefully substantially) under $100.
Discontinued models I can find on ebay, or matches that come in slightly above budget but reliably go on sale are valid, as I have some time before I put it together.
Let me know if you have any candidates. So far I’ve come up empty, but I know this is a knowledgeable group.
