In hindsight, I question the legality of those programs due to free access to licensed technology, hence why I will no longer talk about them here.
Equalizer APO, Hesuvi and VoiceMeter as a combination will allow you to add Sennheiser GSX 1000 ( or SBX Pro, CMSS, Razor,the standard 48 heads and a lot of other options) like surround sound to any Amp and DAC. The main drawback of doing so is the stack of software required. Windows volume control will no longer work as VoiceMeter/Virtual cable is involved. It is still a solution that can get you unhindered sound for music and let you try all the surround options to find the best match for you. Work OK on my modi/magni setup but ultimately the drawbacks of the software had me back with the Sennheiser GSX 1000 and magni just for the convenience.

Why would be a convolution with a self-recorded impulse response be illegal?
All programms are open source and free to use.
It's just simple mathematics.
Ironically, hesuvi's version of windows sonic for headphones and dolby atmos for headphones is arguably better than the actual version, since you can use them with windows set to 7.1. Though on the flip side, you are limited to 7.1 with hesuvi, so no height channels like you can get if an application actually supports atmos/sonic output.
So you want something very neutral. Try a K601. It's $178 ish on Amazon. More neutral than HD598, an not fatiguing like the 990. I think you'll really like it. It's fantastic for the price. Of course I reviewed it, so check the review.
The K7XX will be warm and fifu like the 598, but more refined and like an upgrade of the 598 sound.
The K700 series will sound more like the 598, and I'm sure you want to get something different.
