The Grace 901 amp with a built in DAC sounds quite quite good with
Sennheiser 600, Grado RS-1 and AKG K1000 headphones. They first two also
sound glorious with the no longer produced Melos SHA-Gold. I suppose the
Stax Omegas with custom amps are the ultimate for most types of music.

I have not been on this group in quite some time, so please pardon the
jumping right in. I am looking for a good set of headphones and possibly a
headphone amplifier (preferably with cross-feeding to make it sound like
speakers) that I can use with a portable CD player or alarm clock (looking
for good suggestions for that as well). I used to have a pair Sennheiser
580
and a Headroom Little Amp (I think), but I sold those when I stopped using
them. Looking for similar things, like open-aire, good sound, and so on,
but
do not know the current state of the art. Thanks!
