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.

does this one have this problem?
I didn't give it a shot out of the L5, but I can't imagine their engineering got much worse with their newest DAP.
The way I use it - turn the level all the way down on both the source unit and attenuator, plug them together, then IEMs into attenuator, power up, then slowly turn up the attenuator until I start to hear hiss, then back it down. Now use the volume control on the source as intended (and you'll notice it's not nearly as "touchy" now).
It's discontinued, unfortunately, but may give you an idea of something similar (at Radio Shack?) that will help: http://smile.amazon.com/Shure-EA650-Isolating-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000GTBDBA/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt (It apparently can still be obtained as part as an airline adapter kit for a few more bucks, but I'm certain there are similar products that would suit this purpose and perhaps have a more secure level control)
FWIW: Using this to match Shure SE530's to a Lyr 1 with stock JJ's is extremely listenable to give an idea of the matching ability. Otherwise you'd hear a snake factory before even putting the IEMs in ;)
