I would have another usable headphone if I could recable this. Wouldn't be bad with RX900 on the way as well.

Could very well be a broken wire. In order to recable it you need the following
1. Wire/cable (well, maybe)
2. Soldering iron
3. Solder (duh)
4. Wire cutter/stripper (not absolute necessity but helps a lot)
5. Headphone connector (maybe)
#1 and #5 are "maybe" because theoretically you could just remove the existing cable, cut it where the cable is bad, and use the remainder. The trick, though, is knowing where the cable is broken and there's no good way (that I know of) to do this except trial and error. Cut the wire half way, test for continuity with multimeter (if you have one) and repeat until you have a completely connected piece of cable.
For the wire/cable you could get single wires and braid them yourself into 4 conductor cable, or you can get something like mogami neglex or canare star quad microphone cable. You can search for those and get information pretty easily.
If the above don't sound very appealing to you, I'd be happy to offer some help by doing it for you for cost of parts and shipping. I have a selfish motive here in that I want to listen to how they sound before I make a purchase for myself
Oh,
here's a post that steps you through recabling a D1001
