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.

Me, my DAC is a UAD Apollo 8. Quite a bit more expensive than this product. But it's designed for audio production use. It also has about 28db better snr.
1) People with older DAC's born in an era before PC audio was as big as it is now who do not have a USB connection or it is of substandard quality (I own one of the latter). 2) Someone who wants to utilize the I2S interface in their modern DAC which does have inherent benefits. The benefit of that protocal with some DAC's is objective in nature but subjective in value added.
Given how much some I2S interfaces cost, let alone one with both HDMI and ethernet connector compatibility this is actually a decent deal.
