Thank you for the new ideas Altus , creative e5 looks good , it say does not decode dolby , can that be a minus with this type of headphones?

Only if its important to you, i am assuming you mean software surround sound?
Creative has SBX surround in its software suite and there are other solutions.
It does not do hardwired 5.1/7.1 though.

if so then yeah what i describe will work. you dont need to switch anything in windows, it all goes to the DAC via optical. use the volume knob on the DAC to supply the headphones and the RCA out on the DAC is just a passthrough so just use the volume knob on the speakers to control those.

Yes that the one i have . yes I see , one default playback device , but different volume control , and more power for my headphone, that can make a difference :) , thank you for the advice .
