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!

I thought that "M" albums would be so much better so whenever available I replaced my non "M" albums with their Master version. However, most of them sound boring and much more lifeless than their non "M" version. The sound on the M albums to me is like I am playing a CD and then I switch to the regular ones and its like I am playing a vinyl; full of life, better highs,... just much more fun to listen to.
I know that my Chord is not MQA enable but for a while I had a Mytek Liberty which is MQA enable. I tried it for a few weeks and after not being able to notice a better sound on the M albums vs the regular ones.... I ended up returning the Mytek and buying the Chord.
Does anyone have a similar opinion on the MQA albums in Tidal or is it my setup and / or my ears which are unable to take advantage of the supposed better sound quality of the Master albums?
Thanks for your feedback.
