Did I choose the right path?

Some time last year I made a decision about my audiophile future. Being in college and having a extreme budget constraints I went about trying to build a system around some of my dad's old speakers. B&W v202. They are older than I am. Any ways I was new to the game and trying to get into correctly. As fate would have it things came down to a decision, the Peach Tree Nova vs. NAD 326BEE. I chose the latter (based on gut not experience).
Then needing a quality source and headphone amp I bought the Grace m902 and some Lawton la2000 headphones.
I am unhappy now. I have no money left for audio stuff and I am thinking my speakers suck. I feel my system is jumbled and sort of stretched. I need to know. Did I make the right decision on the frontend

Can you articulate what you are unhappy with?

I suppose, if you can recoup most of the cost of the Grace and/or the 'phones, you could put the money into speakers. Something like a Squeezebox Touch has a decent enough DAC that many people use it without one. However, the Grace would be a nice base for some future system.
