Everytime i've had this happen it's because the wire starts to fray at the solder point connecting it to the jack leading into the headphones.
That's why I use a sennheiser with a replaceable wire and have like 4 extra ones in a drawer
Don't wear your headphones in bed is the best advice I can give, for the future

If it works fine without the magni, It could be the audio jack on the magni starting to come loose from the PCB.

Do you have any other headphone / IEM's to try with the magni?

Sounds like its time for you to get a quality cable instead of constantly replacing crap with crap.
