Rediscovering the AKG K701!

What headphones and dac/amp would you recommend for a soon-to-be audophile?
I've spent a little over 600 on a K701 and PS Audio gcha amp/dac. I use my macbook as source, and I'm really enjoying them right now. You can find used gcha amp around 400, it's said to be among the best for K701, but i don't have a good source for it.- astroqm
