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.

I'm not an expert, but to my knowledge, opamps suitable for audio applications are used as voltage pre-amps. After pre-amplification, the audio signal is fed into the gain stage to satisfy the loads imposed on the device by headhones or speakers. Finally, the signal is stabilized by a buffer able to adjust to the impedance (the electrical, phase-shifting resistance) of the phones or speakers. Anyone more into this field of electronics than I am, please correct me if I missed something.
To answer your first question: using a different opamp doesn't have a significant effect on the volume. And yes, having found a proper opamp, clarity, focus, soundstage, or resolution should be better. I often use a pair of Burson V5i opamps (overall super-high definition) for "symphonic" or "orchestral" music, or a pair of OPA627AM's (APs or BPs will do fine, too) for warm and detailed reproduction of female voices.
I cannot say anything about or recommend a device or even compare it to some other one without having laid my hands on it or them, respectively. Sorry for that.
