Yes, the Lotoo PAW Gold sounds stellar with any of my Grados. I had actually asked Grado Labs for a recommendation for a portable DAC / amp, expecting that they might suggest the Chord Hugo or Mojo, or maybe the Oppo HA-2. Instead, they recommended three top-end DAPs (Lotoo, Astell - Kern, and Sony), further indicating that it was the Lotoo that they themselves used.

Well worth it!

But tell Grado to make replaceable cables so you can add a cable with 4.4mm TRRRS for Sony WM1 and future. Like my grado with 3.5mm but 4.4mm would improve again.

My favorite part of the link that @ruhenheiM listed above FINALLY reveals the three songs, and the features of each, that Grado has been using to test each of their headphones:
John: After each pair is built, I listen to the same 30 seconds of the same three songs. Eric Clapton’s “Signs” was recorded live so I listen to the precise sound of individual hand claps in an audience of 300. Next I listen to Ella Fitzgerald’s “A Night in Tunisia.” Any audio designer knows the importance of listening to the female voice because it falls into the middle range that makes up 85% of the sound. To check the higher frequencies, I play the xylophone part in Duke Ellington’s “Malletoba.”

Does anyone know anywhere in Nashville or Atlanta or New Orleans where I could try out GS1ks and PS1ks?

I loved the sound signature of the PS1ks I tried but comfort was a bit of issues for me due to the weight. I'd like to try out the GS1ks versus the PS1ks in terms of sound and comfort.
