Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!

bought an UD-501 a few days ago and found it couldn't lock the USB signal. Checked some forums and seen it is a known issue: Teac UD-501, on macOS (versions above 10.10), does not handle properly resolution changes: if/when, by mean of some tinkering, you get it to work... then it will choke again as soon as you play a file that is lower resolution than previously played one (eg a 16/44.1 after a 24/96) :-/ Contacted Teac assistance and asked, at that point, if an UD-503 or 505, instead, would work but answer was... "Teac UD-501, 503, 505 all work fine macOS" so... packed up my unit and brought it back to seller for a refund
it's a shame as it was right what I need and was looking great paired with the HA-501 I already have
