Background: I have a set of Grado 325is that are connected to a little dot 1+ and squeezebox/dac. I really like the sound but need to go to closed back headphones due to background noise and annoyance they cause to others in my house. Can anyone give a recommendation of a similar headphone in a...

I am in the market for a couple of DAC's and amps and have a couple of questions if anyone can enlighten me their experiences.   I am just getting into headphones after many tears of home system only listening. I bought a pair of Grado SR 325is' s to get started and am setting up two...
