I'm going to buy the Q701 or K701 phones.
 


My source will be iphone & sometimes macbook.
 
After lots of searching, googling and reading on here and elsewhere, I found what looks to be the perfect dac/amp product for what I want to spend:
 
Grant Fidelity TubeDac-11 (350 USD)
 
 
It should be more than enough to power the 701s right? (I'm aware that the tube out is not suited to these 'phones though)
 
I could connect it to my iPhone via lineout, the macbook via USB or digital and I can use it as a DAC to feed my Rega Brio amplifier with loudspeakers as well. 
 


 
Does anyone have experience with this combo or general opinions on a better similar priced setup to get the best of out these phones while using iphone/macbook as a source?
