I highly, HIGHLY recommend checking out Fog City Audio's shop for this. They have cables for a ton of different headphone brands that can be customized by length, end connection, and even a bunch of color patterns. I recently ordered a 4.4mm balanced cable from them for my Arya Stealths, and it's just wonderful. They're braided too, so quite flexible with pretty much no fuss compared to some stock cables.

Brand new pads are always going to sound different from worn pads; this has been measured and validated:

I'm sure some "silent" manufacturing revisions have occurred over the years as well, but the quickest validation you can do for yourself is to swap your old pads onto the new headphones. Assuming it sounds largely the same, then it's just a matter of allowing the new pads to break in naturally over time.

There's a dell Bluetooth audio driver that unlocked aptX on windows 8 and above. There's also an experimental LDAC driver made by the same people who developed Bluetooth tweaker. You'll need to manually delete ACVRP driver in device manager to get remote control to work, though
