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.

Honestly, I don't think the majority of people who own the HD6XX have actually heard what they are truly capable of. Even with everything I've thrown at them, I'm sure there's gear out there that can make them sound even better.
2x Russian 6H6P-I Power Tubes Little Dot Amp Mk II 6N6 from the yenaudiostore: A good power tube (the big tubes) and better than the factory set. I suggest yen audio because its an easy place to start, but you can find the same thing from tons of different sellers. I like yen because they are reliable. If anyone else has tube seller recommendations I would like to hear them.
2x Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV Matched Pair Little Dot Amp from the yenaudiostore: My favorite signal tube (small tubes) for the Little Dot MK II.
Matched Pair NOS/NIB Mullard 5654/6AK5 BLACK HOLE plate tubes - Little Dot: Also a great signal tube.
This would be a good place to start, and with these signal tubes you don't need to change the jumpers since they are both in the EF95 Family. Here is a link to a fantastic tube rolling guide for the Little Dots. It's been a great reference and I've tried quite a few of the tubes (I've stayed in the EF95 Family) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/little-dot-tube-amps-vacuum-tube-rolling-guide.563884/
Here are what the pins look like.
And here is what the socket looks like. You can see the area with the wider spacing. This is how you align the pins with the socket.
