For portable audio, chances are you would use the FiiO E11 headphone amplifier.
For a Win PC or Mac computer (or, laptop, note book, etc), Fiio E7/E07K DAC/Head amp.

If you need the DAC and are considering the E07K, then I think I would wait and save a bit more cash and get the E17. If you don't need the DAC, then I would still wait and save a bit more to get the E12.

I only need the portable amp feature, I will only be using it with my iphone

Is there a reason for this other than the optical features? I went with the E07K because I didn't see using optical sources.

I dont want anything to spend in the 100's, just what would you suggest between the e7 (or e07k) and e11

If you want a DAC I would get the E07K. If not E11.

With both I will need to buy the L9 correct?

The amp in the E17 is not the same as the amp in the E07K. The E17 is a slight upgrade with an AD8397 opamp which is typically said to be a bit cleaner. It also has bit more power. Truthfully, it's not a big difference, but the price difference isn't big either. I only said what *I* would do in the OPs place...
