I currently have an E7 + E9 combo that I really like but I know the amp is 10ohm and the headphones are 44ohm.  Should I be changing my setup to accommodate that?  My computer does not have a great sound card and I'd rather have an amp/dac than a sound card because I have a laptop I plug into it as well.  Any suggestions?

Personally, I doubt your going to find something that can really make the SRH840 ($150 headphones) sound that much better then what your using now.
You could spend hundreds of dollars trying several different DAC/amps, to find the one that improves the sound the most over the E7/E9.
You could sell of your E7 for a newer E17, but I'm not sure how much the DAC on the E17 is better then the E7 DAC.
Sell off the E7 and get a $150 HRT Music Streaming II DAC.
