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.

Separates are of course the nice solution, where you can change-out just one component.
Upgrade the tube in either so you can at least roll once, to something like this, bought a CBS Hytron NOS 12BZ7 from this fellow, fine tube: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amperex-JAN-6922-Gold-Pin-Serious-Tubes-Serious-Electronics-New-Old-Stock-C729-/182768362950?hash=item2a8dd7e5c6:g:MfcAAOSw5VtZvFfs

Also get a decent USB cable, I just upgraded to an iFi Gemini and it's better, you are streaming data, bad data=bad music, there is no checksum here, no ACK/NACK dialog going on - no time for that... Asynchronous operation is the best we have for now with decent clocks, I just saw that there are units with almost true "atomic" clocks now; pragmatic solution = decent cable & decent DAC..., https://www.amazon.com/Audioquest-Cinnamon-USB-2-0-Micro/dp/B00G5N1GFY/ref=sr_1_23?srs=13979917011&ie=UTF8&qid=1506438145&sr=8-23
