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.

From their experience it seems to be able to properly run 600 ohms head-phones (from one particular quote the only amp doing a better job being a ray Samuels audio HR-2, which retails for 875 usd).
So here is my conclusion: Such an amp is only useful if you have very demanding headphones which is not my case: when I want to treat myself I use a p5 bower and Wilkins, it has low impedance requirements and sounds really nice. If one day I were to have such a headphone, I should first try it on my then actual setup before deciding on any further steps.
On another note: I wish I could try one of those high-end audiophile headphones with a 60 yo tube, that does sound like the stuff from legends
