According to this headphone calculator I need an amp to provide 16mws of power.  The headphones are rated 98 SPL at 1mws and have 32 ohm impedance.  Would a Nuforce Udac-2 suffice, Cmoy, or something of the like.  Feedback is appreciated.

Well that depends on your price range, the hrt music streamer 2 for 150, the audio engine d1 amp/dac, also a very good choice, the fiio e10 amp/dac, not as good as the d1 but half the price at 80 dollars.

See if you can find a used Devilsound NOS dac, awesome little dac. I won't give mine up even though I predominately use a Pico :)
 
As for an amp, I'd find a used tube amp. Grados and tubes are magnificent.
