I have the denon d2000 paired with the e9. Do I really need the e7?

Depends on your source?
 
Do you need to be portable?

Not really no. Unless the dac in the e7 is better than the standard onboard in the computer, I won't bother.

What is the brand/model of your laptop?
 
 
80% of laptops onboard sound is horrible. But there are a select few out there that are decent.

From a quick search it looks like that model uses the Realtek chipset. I would think you would notice a difference from the E7. Should be an improvement.
