Amp for AKG K142HD?

I'm trying to get into the audiophile scene... and I'm looking at the AKG 142HD's. I'll mainly listen to music on my macbook/iPod. Will I benefit by getting a portable amp, like the FiiO E5? I've read both that I need one, and that the AKG's are made to work fine with MP3 players. Just looking for some clarification.

 

Thanks.

Bump. I did order the AKG's. I will mostly be using them with my iPod, should I get an E5 instead of the E7? If I understand it correctly, the DAC doesn't even work with an iPod...?

I own the Fiio E6, which is the replacement for the E5. I haven't tried any others, but so far I enjoy the E6 portable amp. And coming it around 1/3rd of the price, I would say start with the E6 and work your way up if you aren't satisfied.
