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...

My specific question though is regarding a headphone amplifier. Most probably there are many threads on this already maybe a link to one of them will help (from those here longer that remember such discussions). I currently have a pair of Klipsch X11 IEMs (hopefully no one laughs) and will be getting a Fostex T40RPmk3 (closed back; everything I have or will buy will be that way given where I'm listening). Also, I predominantly listen to music on my computer at work or Apple laptop at home or from my phone.
Do I need a DAC/amplifier or just an amplifier and, if I'm new to the amp world, am I best off with an "intro" amp? What do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance and looking forward to working more to support all the purchases I'll want to make here, lol.
