If it really is an OMTP vs CTIA issue, you just need an adapter. Because it's a direct swap of two lines, it shouldn't matter if it's OMTP->CTIA or CTIA->OMTP adapter. They cost around $5.
A quick test before you go buying stuff though. Move your headphones so they're half-way in the jack while listening to music. At any time through there, do the headphones sound more normal? If so, the jack is culprit. If not, it might be the DAC or the headphone driver.
Thanks for this, NexusTrix. My problem is the one you've described above. Now to Google around for a solution. Thanks for a huge step in the right direction.
