Headphone alternative to standalone monitors?

I've just taken the plunge and purchased a pair of AKG K701's from Thomann.

My question is will my focusrite saffire (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep05/articles/saffire.htm) be enough to power these headphones, or should I get a seperate headphone amp? Was looking at something like a FiiO E9.

Cheers
Keith

Surely you're looking for headphones that will represent the sound well, rather than give a 'better' sound?

Personally I'd go for Beyer DT770's. I use them a lot for mixing and general audio work when I can't get to a decent pair of monitors. Pretty popular headphones, BBC use them a lot too.

+1 for the DT 770's, outstanding for the money

++1

I have a pair and wouldn't recommend anything else in that price bracket.
