What is a very good Sennheiser HD800 cable? I can pay $500+

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.

can someone help me, I have a problem with playing music on my PC
I try to play music in iTunes, VLC or WMP and it doesn't happen. In iTunes the "time meter" at the top of the program doesn't move, but the pause button appears. In VLC the time meter moves but no sound and in WMP it doesn't start the track at all. Real Player plays tracks fine, which is odd...- dudefromearth
