@sk1lld I use a hifi-dac and a pair of Beierdynamic DT1770 pro and have the same issues as you.

Using surround, wartapes and DTS Headphone X seems best to me, but only by a small margin compared to the other options.

I haven't had any issues with the footstep sounds specifically, though I do have plenty of issues with vehicles and the sound does often feel underwhelming especially compared to BFV, which isn't really a headphones/amp/etc. issue, just a game issue...
If you walk, you don't produce ANY sound. Are you guys sure the enemies aren't simply walking? I do this quite often when I know someone's around, to throw them off.
