Oh, no worries Fegefeuer...it's all good!
Thanks for the suggestions! As for my budget...it is hard to say as I don't know exactly what to look for. Roughly I guess would be $100 - $200 for a sound card and around $300 for a headset/phones. I'm not sure about an external DAC/AMP.
I am willing to sacrifice the headset benefit of a microphone if a pair of headphones is worth it (I could settle with a clip-on mic. or something...I would rarely use it anyways).
Like my username suggests, audiophile stuff is foreign to me...but here is what I've looked into so far (and feel free to share your opinions as I try to approach things objectively):

Am I going in the right direction or should I be steered somewhere else?
