I'd also take the k501 over the k701 (which is a great phone in its own right), especially for jazz. You need good amplification, but I found the k501 to be significantly less picky than the k701. the k501 has a bigger soundstage, more precise imaging and is more neutral, while the k701 has a smaller (but very accurate) soundstage and a buttery liquid aspect to its overall sound.
That said, I'd try to get a used ath: ad2000, w1000/5000 or if you don't mind the small size an esw10jpn.
