Unless you don't plan on using the dual outs or exterior amp functionality, then I would go with the E7.
Additionally, the E7 can be expanded with an E9 to provide a much more powerful amp if you want to move up to higher impedance headphones.
Both of these will come with a USB cable to connect to your computer, and from there you plug the 3.5mm unextended jack from the AD700s in.
thank you very much for your help but one last question i will be listening to trance techno and house music with the AD-700 do you think its a good call or i have to change to another headphone?

You will definitely want to change that. I love trance, techno, and house, but when I had my AD700s, I found myself listening exclusively so classical, acoustic, jazz, and funk. They don't have the bass response to cope with it. They do lend an interesting sound to the genre, but it isn't exactly faithful to the original. Check out the review in my sig if you want more detail.

As for alternatives, Ultrasone PRO550s are a bit out of the AD700s price range, but will be a solid investment. Ultrasone has a reputation for making some of the best electronic music headphones out there, and I certainly agree with that. While they have exceedingly good performance in that category, however, it doesn't mean they sacrifice versatility like the AD700s do.

The Ultrasone PRO550s are $150, but if you give me a price range to work around, there are other headphones that can fit your needs for less.

as i understand the PRO580s is an upgraded PRO550s and it costs 30$ less

The closed-back HFI-580 shows its very exclusive design and improved sound quality in a black-pearl coloured outfit. These headphones offer tight powerful bass, precise and detailed instrument placement with an impressive power spectrum. The HFI-580 is made for high power input with very efficient 50 mm heavy duty drivers and a persuasive sound intensity. The HFI-580 is ideal for bass players and drummers. Through the S-Logic? Natural Surround Sound the usual headphone sound will be moved out of

There is no PRO-580 model, only an HFI-580.

The PRO series is, in my opinion, the better choice, and it is more neutral and well rounded, while the HFI-580s are more of a bass heavy headphone with a more 'closed off' sound. Take your pick of the two, but if you are planning to listen to anything outside electronic, the PRO series is the way to go. Even then, the amount of bass on the 580s is often called overwhelming.

Also, if you're looking at amazon and see the hideous blue earlier version of the PRO550s, have no fear. The ones they currently ship are the revised model, which look like this.
