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 tried carrying a stack (DAC + amp), just wasn't for me...
Stacking sucks and is cumbersome, not being plugged into my phone is a good one for mobility, burn in purposes is another, they tend to be designed more specifically for sensitive IEMs, they get firmware updates specifically for audio issues, etc. The Android ones can do anything a phone can as well, basically....
Now this one? 1 GB of RAM in this day and age (also no 2.5mm balanced)? Bummer, otherwise it'd be really good at this price.
The Hidizs AP200 is an excellent sounding player, the UI is getting there too. Wifi range is terrible though.
It gets out of the way of the music, my DAP reviews can be found here: http://www.soundperfectionreviews.com/search/label/DAP
That being said, they serve the purpose of audio extremely well and make portable audio a much cheaper venture, so YMMV. :)
