X-Fi as a transport, does EAX work? Also, looking for AMP&DAC @ ~400euros range

Use will be movies, gaming and music.

Currently I have a X-Fi XtremeMusic and Beyer DT 770s.

One setup I have thought about is X-Fi -> E-Mu 0404 USB -> Corda Arietta.
Would EAX work ok like that?
Any other DAC and AMP recommendations within that budget?

EAX is on output so if/when you connect X-Fi output to E-MU, it should work ... otherwise, you may need to use velbac (I don't know if this works for USB audio).

Velbac - Sends audio from a Creative soundcard to another soundcard - DriverHeaven.net

If you can connect your E-MU to your X-Fi by coaxial digital connectors, then yes it should work. Soundcard does all the processing when in gaming mode, ahd then the final digital to analog conversion is just done by the external DAC. It atleast works with my KECES dac.
