The best? If you like tubes, then the best is a Cary 300sei (a lot of bucks!). Now, this is true for me; to my ears. Next best? Earmax Pro.
The Grace sounds fine but it is definitely solid state. The internal dac is not a very good one (sound-wise). The very high end HR Max stuff does sound very good (better than the grace) but also sounds solid state and costs way too much money. Just my two cents.
