I thinking of output audio to av receiver via hdmi from graphic card for D/a conversion, then output stereo audio from receiver to mha200 tube amp to drive hd800 headphone.
can this hifi equipment combo work like pc gaming headset? To make walking sound of enemy easy to recognize?

Yes. Modern PC games can send Stereo HRTF audio intended for headphone playback out via HDMI.

Gaming consoles OTOH will usually send only the Speaker mix via HDMI.
