Congrats on your card =)
I tried out dolby headphones I felt it ruined the natural "flavor" of the headphones and changed it completely. Although I understand why some people might like it, I really can't stand it.
Try listening to music with dolby for a while and then the hi-fi or no EQ mode and try to appreciate the headphones' natural characteristics you might have a change of opinion later on.
I don't think that I would change my opinion. With 5.1 music Dolby Headphone sounds very good. With stereo music I don't like it. But with stereo music and a 5.1 upmix DH sound good too. The problem is that it is not easy to get a good 5.1 upmix. The Dolby Prologic on the Xonar Cards is good for films but for music I don't like it. For this foobar offers perfect options for upmixing and tweaking the upmix to your own taste.
For music and games I use DH1 and DH2. Films sound best with DH3.
