Default Best mp3 player sound with Grados

Hello. I know very little about these players, I don't want to buy,
sell, audition a box full of them. I would like to ask (since this
group most likely knows this) which player (I don't care about video)
has the best quality sound and can it drive Grado's, say 80s without
an additional amp?
Thanks very much for your help here.


You have to pay attention to the impedence of the headphones.
The ipod can't adequately drive all headphones...even different models in the same
brand. Generally, stay away from low-impedence models for use with ipods.

There's also variation in different ipod models.
