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.

My specific question though is regarding a headphone amplifier. Most probably there are many threads on this already maybe a link to one of them will help (from those here longer that remember such discussions). I currently have a pair of Klipsch X11 IEMs (hopefully no one laughs) and will be getting a Fostex T40RPmk3 (closed back; everything I have or will buy will be that way given where I'm listening). Also, I predominantly listen to music on my computer at work or Apple laptop at home or from my phone.
Do I need a DAC/amplifier or just an amplifier and, if I'm new to the amp world, am I best off with an "intro" amp? What do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance and looking forward to working more to support all the purchases I'll want to make here, lol.
