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!

- Somehow wire the AppleTV4K to the receiver so that Apple can handle the sound. But I have it connected to the TV, which outputs sound via TOSLink to the Sonos. The Apple remote controls the Sonos volume as well as the Apple menu system. If I screw that simplicity up and make her start using the receiver remote, my wife will lose her mind and probably stop feeding me. I'm not messing with the WAF.
- Somehow get a wireless interface pulling music out of the air and sending it to the AV receiver. Hopefully there's something here at MassD that can handle it.
Whatever works, and I'd really like something that would allow me to either select the music via phone app (like Sonos), or via onscreen menu on the tv (like Apple). I've seen questions nearly identical to mine pop up in audio forums and no one has given any realistic answers (realistic means it doesn't cost a thousand bucks and completely rearrange how things run). So, audio brains, what is the correct, simple way to get that music from the drive to my stereo?
