I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

In the future I plan to extend the bottom of the case a bit and add an internal ODAC, so that the RCAs really can be outputs.... Need to crack it open and see what's inside first though. Will see if I am able to stop listening to it for long enough to do so..
Worth noting, if you want to tube roll I would go with a 12AU7 preamp tube, I tried both a 12AX7 (direct replacement, JJ non gold) and a 12AU7 (gold lion), and I found the 12AU7 seemed a lot more open, could be down to the specific tube, but it definitely doesn't need the extra gain, and 12AU7 is generally regarded as better for audio than 12AX7.
I got my power tubes off of eBay from seller "yenaudiostore" they also have the preamp tubes, $25 each for the 6v6 power tubes or $35 for the 12au7 preamp tube.
As to which had a bigger effect, definitely the preamp tube (I think going from 12ax7 to 12au7 had as much a part in that as going to gold lion). The power tubes definitely did make a difference also, but not as much as the preamp tube.
