Good amp for k240 sextetts?

So I have a pair of MP sextetts in more or less good condition, and I want to get a good amp for them (right now I have them unamped, which I've heard is a big no-no for these). Some qualifications:

 

1. I would like to spend a maximum of $200: I'm in college, so funds are a bit tight for now.

2. I will listen to mostly classical and jazz music on these headphones, as I have m50s for other types of music.

3. likely source will either be a rockboxed ipod with lossless files, or my computer.

4. I've heard the Fiio E7 & E9 combo is a good low-cost solution for the k701: has anyone tried these with sextetts yet, and if so, is it recommendable for my situation?

 

Thanks in advance smily_headphones1.gif

While I do happen to have the same pair of headphones, I am in the same dilemma.  Amongst other options in your price range would be the Audio GD NFB-12 which has very promising specs and a promo price of 200+shipping.  If you don't have a DAC already, it might be nice to look for an integrated unit...there's also the Audinst HUX-MX 1

Thanks for the suggestions! Those do seem like viable options, as I will be needing a DAC as well. I've mostly looked at headphones, so I didn't realize how varied the amp market is.
