Just get a equilizer...simple as that really, I got a realtek one that came with my drivers that monitors the default sound device and I just tweak it as I want. |

lol not for that price. I'll stick with Topping's offerings. Doesn't sound like it does much more than the Topping VX1 for double the price.

I'm going to ask for a headphone amp for christmas again this year, although I still think they're a little too expensive to justify as a christmas gift  .. Any advice Spykez? |
what's your budget? A few under 100 dollar amps.

are you going to use this soley for headphones or do you plan on hooking speakers up to it? If so what kind of speakers?
100 euros = about 150USD and that opens up a lot of possibilities.
However, in all honesty, between me and another member here, I got the Topping VX1, then Pax liked the sound of it and bought the VX1 and we're both super happy with it.
http://www.amazon.com/TOPPING-Tripath-Subwoofer-Amplifier-Digital/dp/B00H6XDE4S/
Also has options on the back to run L/R aux in as well as speaker output options for running bookshelf speakers (my VX1 is powering these http://www.amazon.com/Audioengine-2-Way-Passive-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B002FJVTGI/ ).
If for whatever reason you wanted, it'll run both the speakers and the headphones at the same time.
I can give you more options if you'd like though  I just say go for the VX1 because there's two of us here that have it and love it.

99% of the time I'll be using headphones but the rest of the time I'm not as fussed about audio quality. I use a good quality set of 2.1 PC speakers (some of the best you can buy although I don't recall the brand of the top of my head!) but given how little they are used I'm not too fussed about catering for them.
Am I correct in thinking a USB DAC will take over as my soundcard?

fuck 5.1 totally.
Get something which wont be such a clusterfuck. If You want surround get headphones and play around with dolby headphone virtual surround.
As for speakers, get either t40 or standalone full range speakers like SpykeZ got. Why in the world are people going into those clustery 5.1 setups that never work right. I had one and threw away 3 speakers and made it nice 2.1

What benefit are you going to gain? You're already using something with a wolfson audio chip in it <3

I've never used Schiit before (god I love their name lol!) but they are well liked among audio enthusiasts. Same as FiiO too though, I've owned their E9 and E7 and they make REALLY solid stuff.

If you don't have full range speakers you absolutely need a sub. Small drivers just can't hit those low frequencies. Even on a full range floor standing speaker set, having a sub allows the speakers to focus more on midrange/highs while the sub takes the load off.
