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.

currently i use sound blaster Z.
it seems clear that hd6xx needs to be driven by an amp to get the most from it, and most ppl say SBZ cant quite do a great job of it, despite its 600 ohm hd amp, so my tentative plan is to get a shiit magni3
will the SBZ DAC do a good job, or is a shiit modi2 significantly better enough to justify its cost?
Join the drop. Let the HD6XX show up. Try it. If it doesn't seem to work for you, order an amp for it. Plenty of options. I like my O2 Amp but find the Sounblaster ZXr works fine driving 300 Ohm headphones. Don't have access to 600 Ohms.
And of course, Schiit make fantastic kit if you want to buy anyway. ;-)
The Magni 3 will be better though.
See http://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/dac/creative-soundblaster-zx.php (the Zx has the same DAC as the Z)
Not much point in getting the Modi really.
