Thanks for the info Rudyae!
I have spent all day reading this thread and re-reading the first page of reviews. My thoughts have changed a bit now. I somehow missed the AKG K612 Pro's and the K702. The 702's sound they could be the ones for me.
If I went with the AKG 612 I may pair it with the SB-X G5 or perhaps the Scarlett Solo, not sure but I guess a Sound Blaster Z may not cut-it as an AMP for these?
The other option of course is the G4me-one, although i dont need a mic, nice to have but I never really use them. Despite this the SB-Z has beam forming ic anyway.
I suspect I may go for the K702 its the same price here as the g4ame-one!
Will I benefit from anything more than the SB-Z AMP?
Rudyae...please clarify for an audio simpleton the dongle does surround sound but doesnt do "Dolby headphone". The dongle does dolby 7.1 surround. Not sure what you mean, are they 2 different things?
The one attractive thing about the PC363 USB sound card is that its external and therefore eliminates risk of EMI.
If it is not too much to ask what cables/wires would I need to setup the Schiit Magni from the SB-Z?

No, G4ME ONE is the same as the PC360 not the PC350 SE.
As for the PC363, I read somewhere that it's similar to the PC360 difference is that it's impedance is at 32ohm vs 50ohm from the PC360 and you get the sub dongle for surround sound But doesn't do Dolby headphone and uses a different Dolby technology, which I don't remember what it is.
Just stick with the G4ME One
