Noob in need.. Grado RS2i and Amp question

I am a happy owner of the Grado RS2i's I have been using portable carry on amps.. till yesterday I saw a very nice little amp, and made an impulse purchase.

 

FX 10 Integrated Amp by JoLida    http://www.jolida.com/product/glassfx/fx10

 

It seems that it does not have a headphone jack, so I assume I need an adapter?

 

Also the Grados are low impedance and I am not so sure if using them with his amp would destroy them or not.

 

I have not yet received the amp, but I feel bad to tell the person (a local dealer) that I may not need it.

 

Well thats what I get for not doing my homework.

I did not actually pay for it and I guess if it's not designed for it I better spend the $400 elsewhere?

Hi there. If I am not mistaken this is a speaker amp. For your purposes, you'd be better served buying something else.

 

I would read the Grado threads.

 

I have seen Mapletree Audio (MAD) amps for sale in the sale forums for around $300-$450 and they have excellent synergy with the RS1. I would imagine they work great with the RS2 as well.

MAD is the way to go, or some other SS amp would be nice too
