Thanks for your replies
I think I don't, actually I am used to listen with my QC35 for 4/5h and never had any problem, I barely never listen loudly by the way.
That is why i started being worried about it, the headphones were not even on my head but close, and absolutely no sound. But still when I woke up i clearly had a tinnitus on right ear where the headphones was. That is why i might feel the amp could be damaged and make some inaudible sounds. (I have the feeling i also have those problem with speakers plugged into the dac/amp, but i'm note sure ...
I think it's not too loud, i have my computer at ~50% volume, and between 35% and 50% on the amp, 0dB setting. I easilly can speak with someone while listening to the music. I sadly can't tell you the exact volume i'm listening to, but i tried to put it low.
I saw the DAC default filter cancel noises after 22kHz or somerhing like that.
I use EQ from this forum, also tried without EQ, didn't really change the problem (expect i less enjoy music hehe)
Mine start with 2011 ... So it could be this, i don't know why but I had the feeling it could be the amp and not dac/headphone. Thank you.
You're just enjoying your new gear longer than you should. Take care

Without any sound the headphone does nothing so cannot cause tinnitus or headaches either.

How loud did you listen? What were the volume and gain settings on the amplifier and DAC etc.?

Maybe 800s in stock form are too bright for you. Try some EQ presets for different listening sessions and check if symptoms are still present. If yes, then consider getting different headphones, if possible.

If you haven't read the discussion about the L30, make sure to do so. To make it short, do not use it if the serial number starts with anything that is below 2012. The amp can destroy both your headphones and your ears.
