I'm looking to upgrade my headphones soon and as I do this I will most likely need an amp to power them. As of right now I am looking at: 
 
AKG
K701
K702
 
Sennheiser
HD 598
 
Beyerdynamic
DT880/250
DT990/250
 
 
Will the FiiO E7 be able to power these or would I have to look for more expensive ones?
Any suggestions on portable amp/DAC in a similar price range to the E7?
Any suggestions in headphones in a similar price range of the ones listed?

Getting any of these would DEFINITELY require you to get something more powerful than an E7. If you cheap out on an amp, most high-end headphones will sound worse than $15 headphones. Get a decent amp (I'm talking about $250 minimum) and it will sound amazing.
