Headphone amp?

I would like to add high quality headphones to my system, which consists of a Pass  Labs XA30.8 and XP-20 preamp, and SoundScience Music Vault plus speakers. Do I need a headset amp or is there some other way to use say, a pair of HD800s phones? I could in a pinch plug in to my CD player but I doubt it would be as good my amp/preamp. What would the cognoscenti suggest?

Hi there OP, 

I have experience with vintage gear and the 6.3mm out for headphone listening on those units. The sound is fuller than something like an M-Audio interface, for example.

I heard that the A 30 Pro from Topping is really good. Lots of reviews on the internet. But I have yet to to try it out.
