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 jumped in to this buy and also picked up:
(1) SMSL SD793 DAC/Amplifier (1) NVX Audio XPT100 headphones
I made these purchases after reading reviews and watching some on YouTube from hifi members.
My curiosity is now to confirm my plan of using optical out of my PC into the SMSL, RCA to Little Dot, then pass to headphones. Sound reasonable?
Is there a recommended cable brand I use for the RCAs?
Edit: Also check out head-fi if you want headphone/amp/dac advice. The headphone subreddit on Reddit is okay too, but I would say the crowd over at head-fi is far more experienced and more civilized for the most part.
