well with a budget of $500 youre definately in the mid-range of headphones.
going the computer-as-source route, you could get the chaintech av-710 which is supposed to sound very nice to any number of $300 amps (sr-71, headroom micro, hornet) to a senn 595 or 580, beyer dt880, dt770 or dt660. all of these with said amps and source will sound pretty good. that soundcard might even cut it for a temporary source for your stereo setup.
the 770's and 660s are closed. the 660's are easily modable to open but the 770s are permanently closed.
