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...

Right now I'm looking at the Schiit Fulla 2 as a first dac/amp. Reasonable price and serves as a dac if I upgrade. I don't know about technical thing so I'm curious if I should expect such a dac/amp combo to power headphones I buy alongside it such as HD 600 series Sennheisers, AKG k700 series, or other headphones as I do more research. All I see is mainstream right now because I'm a nooby. Will the Fulla 2 be able to power headphones like those? I cant see my price range going over $400 or so. (yay massdrop it wont have to).
In the case it can't I would be interested in the Magni 2, but I'm also not sure if my motherboards' 'isolated audio' and crap will suffice for a dac. It's a great mobo, but idk if the isolated dac is just sugar coated advertising. Thats a question for another day, but if anybody cares to entertain it that'd be koo.
tl;dr I'm interested in the Schiit Fulla 2. Will it be able to power possible sub $400 buys or am I better off going with a Magni 2 and figuring out if I need a dac afterwards?
