Totally ignore the post below because the link provided was actually talking about Iriver player. People who heard Lavry's amp all report no noise issue at all.

For an SS amp that sounds very hissy with Grado, it's just not a good sign.
My high power tube head amp (1.5 W into 300 ohms) sounds hissy with Grado, and that is more or less acceptable because it is has tubes and can drive K1000 with ease. Then you have hi-end tube amps like RSA Raptor that can drive K1000 beutifully and Grado without hiss--that's a piece of art. For a ~$1000 DAC to come with a hissy headphone amp is simply not a pretty thing.
