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.

rca is unbalanced, xlr is balanced. trs (tip/ring/sleeve) is balanced, ts (tip/sleeve) is unbalanced. trs and ts generally refer to 1/4" and 1/8" jacks...think guitar cable, ipod audio cable, etc.)
you can purchase xlr to rca (single) cables. i've done this in the past. some would suggest to get an unbalanced to balanced converter. not sure if this is necessary. i ran monitors(active) through a mixer that only had rca inputs/outputs and never had problems. ymmv. :)
i think the confusion comes from how you're using the term drive. to drive an inactive speaker one needs an amplifier. an active speaker (like the jbl) has an amplifier built inside so there's no need for external amplification. the asgard 2 has only rca in/out, (which again, would be fine to use with the xlr to rca cable i mentioned) but in the end, the only thing it (along with the centrance dac cx) will be driving is headphones.
if it helps, i own the centrance dacmini px and really enjoy it. i'm using it to drive the centrance speakers as well. it's a really pleasant setup for my computer. for convenience sake, i would def opt for the volume mod if you weren't planning on running the signal through another amp.
out of curiosity, what made you decide not to go with these? i've been looking at them for quite a while now. thinking either this drop or the next i'll jump on board.
how are you liking your arsgard?
