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.

The THX AAA amp has very low THD+N and I remember others recommending a similar spec DAC for it. If you have no preference and want a good value for money DAC then the Massdrop x Grace Standard DAC might be your best option (delivery time of May 2019). Or a Topping D30, or D50 even.

My motherboard has the ES9023 which isn't half bad.
@AndrewMason Thanks for sharing about the Topping NX4-DSD. That one seems to measure quite well at <0.0008% THD+N and cheaper.
