Well I think I am finally getting somewhere, I uninstalled and reinstalled all of my soundcard drivers and changed a couple other windows settings and now I am getting a bit better quality. I am now able to use the build in Creative Labs equalizer to tune up the audio before it gets to the Schiit. Starting to get sound quality close to what I had before when I had the PC hooked up direct to my old Kenwood. Probably some further fine tuning and we're there.
