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.

Anyway, how bad/good are the drivers on windows? Is there an open source driver option?
Also, I guess I should ask how it sounds compared to the monoprice amp/dac (similar price) and onboard audio. My headphones don't have a high impedance.
honestly, this unit is "meh"
I would just recomend you buy a real amp and then a dac latter or just go straight for the o2 ODAC combo or a schiit stack.
this DACAMP is mediocre to shit range and will leave you wondering why you didn't just spend the extra money to get a proper AMP the first time around
because i'm not one of those audiophiles who want top of the line equipment/sound. I'm just a person with mid-range headphones (HD 598) who finds this DAC/AMP combo's features, specs, and I/O "fun" and sufficient enough for my needs.
will it suffice for that, or is it really that terrible? I'm wondering about the driver situation, and that's it.
$50 maybe, $100 no, just get a Schiit Magni 2 or something and role with internal DAC
