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.

Blasphemy! What is more transparent than transparent? No amount of money could possibly provide a better listening experience. After all, all headphones present ideal loads and behave identically under load. And only a prima donna would want to use a 1/4" plug without an adapter (because all proper 'desktop' headphones have 3.5mm plugs) or want to have the power cable exit from the back. After all, sound quality is the only important criterion when judging audio equipment.
Also, not sure why you think headphones all provide ideal loads, they do not. Impedance changes with the frequency and loads are constantly fluctuating.
I was just anticipating the O2 circle jerk and trying to point out some of the 'flaws' of the amp. I actually own two, one standalone and one O2/ODAC combo. I'm currently using the O2/ODAC for my gaming rig, and it does fine. I used it as my main music amp for maybe a year, but I rarely use it for music anymore, as I don't like the sound compared to other amp/DAC combos I own, especially for planars (and... cue people telling me I'm imagining things because it has no sound in 3... 2... ).
