I prefer Sound Blaster Z/ZxR's surround to Dolby. Dolby tends to sound like a tin can where the Z/ZxR sounds more natural in a gaming situation. Altho since I've gotten better gear and developed a more sensitive ear I might just look into some type of crossover system that basically combines the Left and Right channels by a small percent to remove the hard left/right panning when gaming. That is basically all Dolby Headphone and Sound Blaster Surround does is just combine the two channels and throw the effects in a way that sounds more spacious.
If you're going with such a nice pair of cans like the K702's I'd go this route:
Sound Blaster Z
Schiit Modi Optical
Shiit Magni
You're going to spend $200 on the ZxR why not just get the Z a amp/dac that will last you for decades. A Schiit stack looks amazing, sounds amazing, is made in the US and has a 5 year warranty + 15 day satisfaction. The Modi Optical isn't in stock but I asked their CS the other day and they are shipped some to Amazon so they should be in stock very soon.
Your setup will look like this with the Z and Schiit amp/dac:
Sound Blaster Z > Optical cable > Modi > RCA's > Magni > Headphones.
If you go that route you get all of the benefits of the Z sound card (surround, EQ, etc) but get to bypass their lower quality amp/dac and use your own which will last much longer and sound much better.
Can I stick one of these between the TV and the amp: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6NJSZ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2MQBWZ25GS6JU
