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.

We’re on track to meet our estimated ship date of October 31, and we'll check back in around the middle of October with the status of the shipment.I'm sorry, am I reading right that the Balanced output allows one-thousand six-hundred and twenty-four decibels of gain? Are we trying to distort spacetime with our headphones?
Yes, we are... But I do think it's a copy+paste error where the decimal points were dropped. I don't even think the tech exists that can measure -13 kdB, and this amp certainly can't output 18 kW
Thanks for the update :)
What about those of us that have sources with 4V or 5V outputs? How does this change affect us? Also, what are the output power specs now?
Client of the first drop here.
Thanks
The 789 can tolerate the following rms input voltage from your DAC without clipping:
-10dB Mode: 7 V 0 dB Mode: 7 V +10 dB Mode: 2.1 V
And on the 789, the RCA unbal and XLR-3 bal have same input voltage tolerance.
So for my DAC that outputs 4.5Vrms, which of the following is correct? - I should make sure not to use the highest gain or - I can use the highest gain without going past a certain volume
Thanks, Traian
Thanks for the quick and detailed replies.
Just to confirm, are you implying that I should avoid the maximum gain altogether without any form of prior attenuation? Or I can still use it by making sure to select a lower volume on the amplifier's knob?
Thanks, Traian
I must say I am a bit disappointed, as I thought the XLR input could handle pro levels without issue (typically up to +24dBu at 0dBFS).
If 7V/19dBu is the clipping limit (1% distortion?), then what max input voltage should be considered to keep the stellar performance of the amp unaffected?
The 7V/+19dBu output is actually unclipped. Clipping (1% THD) starts a bit higher than that.
I don't think we ever released any specs stating support for +24 dBu sources. Supporting +24dBu input would have required a 4th position on the gain knob and more relays internally. Due to CBOM budget limits, something had to give.
