I'm skeptical about amps adding grain in general. Most of the time is already there from the source or jitter or RFI, and you're hoping the amp will smooth it out, at the expense of losing leading edge detail. The GL is a fine and transparent amp and (more than most amps) it will show every flaw in your power, source and interconnects. But its not perfect, and I doubt any amp is. The DT880 do mate with the the GL depending on your preference.. they provide a quick and airy sound vs a warm and syrupy smooth sound.. contrasting the GL to the wall-powered Porta Corda III is an interesting experience, largely on opposite extremes.
Regardless, huge sweeping generalizations from a brief listen with a crappy source isn't a particularly valuable contribution.
