Ringing in PC38X's
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.

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Currently I am pushing these with the built-in audio on my ASUS Z170-A motherboard, and it sounds fantastic - loud enough, though I can definitely push it a bit further before it gets uncomfortable for me (at about 60% OS-level; 80% application-level). I am looking forward to seeing how these wake up further with the D30/A30 combo that dropped recently (that were _supposed_ to ship today -- but looks like will be delayed). In the meantime these sound amazing already, so I am HAPPY!
As far as music goes... I ripped the few (old) CDs I still have to FLAC and am enjoying those. Some standouts so far for me have been the Beastie Boys albums -- mostly Check Your Head, Paul's Boutique, and Ill Communication -- they all three have so many different instruments and dynamic ranges of music involved. There is a lot more to these albums than one might realize through casual listening - so many little details I've never heard before. Also, the acoustic Nirvana album is an interesting listen. Can you tell I'm a kid of the 90s?
Also, I am wondering if the bass will be slightly more pronounced with a stronger amp. I won't know that for a while yet Even if not though, I am pretty happy with the bass on these as is, and I am definitely a fan of strong bass.
