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.

If Product: DAC/AMP commonly used by the audio community primarily with headphones though not limited to headphones. The expectation is that by using an external digital to analog converter your digital files (mp3 etc, 1 or 0, high or low Voltage) will be converted to a more ideal analog signal(low, high and everything in between) as recorded in the studio without distortion (if your using a solid state dac like this one, tube amps give distortion but engineered to give a certain type). The AMP, or amplifier takes the analog signal from the digital to analog converter chip and ups the power (P = current x voltage) in a way that does not distort the waveform of the original signal. Amps are used by the community to drive higher impedance headphones or to separate possible power fluctuation in a computer (common audio source) from that of the power feeding the sound waveform.
If music was seeing a bench press bar moving then impedance would be the amount of weight on the bar. The more impedance, the stronger the weightlifter needed (amp) and the smaller the vibrational movement of the bar due to people walking around in the room (power fluctuation & electromagnetic waves).
