I've used the K.I.C.A.S. Caliente with my Grado RS-1s, which is a

Maplewood Audio Design HD250, but that's probably out of your price
range.
If I were you, I'd head over to http://www.head-fi.org/ which has a
wealth of information
For what it's worth:
I have a bedroom system which consists of a Squeezebox Classic with the
digital outputs going into a Headroom Desktop Amp which has a built-in
DAC installed. I use it with several different headphones: a Sennheiser
HD650, an AKG K701 and an Ultrasone Proline 750. All three
I have a Beresford TC-7520 DAC and the headamp in it drives my AKG K701
pretty good. Might be something to try.

Welcome to the forums!
Congrats on the Grado headphones! I have a pair of SR80i's that I
really like. Awesome sound for the money.
I have a setup on my bedside table with an SB3 and a headphone amp.
The headphone amp built into the SB3 I found to be noisy. While
listening to quieter parts
Thank you for your suggestion. Looks like XM4 amp could be what I am
looking for, even thou the portable aspect is not important for me.
But I was wondering if I should try one with a dac.
Found at least to that looks interesting:

I think you will definitely notice the difference with a good headphone
amp and 'phones of this quality, even without a dedicated DAC. A

OBH-11 with Sennheiser 650s. I've been thinking of getting a Musical
Fidelity V-Can and
