AKG K-701 AND MATCHING headphone AMPLIFIER?

Hi,

I am about to buy AKG-K701 headphones. I have an old Quad 33/303 pre. and amp. combo and I am very happy with it. But, it does not have an headphone input! And all those inputs and connectors on the back of the preamp. are 5-polar sockets which makes new connections complicated, if at all possible!
First, can I hook up the new headphones to Quad 33 at all?
If I buy headphone amp. (I intend to buy Original Electronic Master Headphone Amp.)would it be the right match, and how to connect it? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Damir

I just ordered this Little Dot2+ HP amp. Many seem to like the sound with various phones.Price is very good also.

I would recommend either X-cans, Singlepower, or Gilmore amps.
