Need to get a new Sennheiser HD800 cable as my current one is fried
The fibre in the stock cable has been exposed and the sturdy part of the cable at top next to the headphone itself is very loose, which is very bad.

I am listening to them at the moment, but will be getting the Matrix M stage when it arrives and want to know what the difference will be. According to the nuforce udac website the udac can only output 16ohm, while the Sennheiser needs 300ohms? Will the difference be vast?- dudefromearth
