I am looking for a portable amp (+dac) and earphone/headphone combo. The ones i am looking at are:
 
Shure SE425-V
Fiio e7/e11(e17 if they really are worth it)
 
Sennheiser HD25-1 II
Fiio e7/e11(e17)
 
Beyerdynamic dt 1350
Fiio e7/e11(e17)
 
I will connect these to my iphone or ipod classic with the fiio L3 cable.
 
I mostly listen to Classical music, jazz and some classic rock. So it is important for me to be able to listen all the instruments clearly. 
 
I want it kind if portable i will carry it in a backpack so the weight is not a really big problem, but i wouldt mind having some sort of carrying case for the headphones/earphones.
 
I guess i dont really need the DAC but it would be nice to improve the sound off my mac and those sort of things. And it does not have to be a combined AMP and DAC 
 
If you have another suggestion please, but i want everything to come under ca 520 $.

I will recommend the Fiio E11, iBasso T5 + Yamaha EPH100, Etymotic HF5 + Philips Fideleo L1, V-Moda M80 are recommended.

Don't spend more on your cans than amp and player combined, just not worth pairing an E7 with DT1350s - they will just show how cheap it really is, get the best amp/dac you can when worry about headphones afterwards, my budget ratio would be
DAP 40%
AMP 35%
'PHONES 25%

Can you recomend me something then?? Around the 600$ range for everything?? And what do you mean by DAP?
