How does a Headphone amp work . Where to start ?


Would like to get into serious headphone listening.

My budget is about $3000 total max for headphone amp and headphones.

I currently have an Sony SCD-1 cd/sacd player. And do a lot of listening to sacds.

How does the headphone amp get hooked up. Into preamp ?

Thank you for your help.

The grace is a great option.

If you don't want to throw the full $3k and get tramendous synergy use the Grado RS-1 with the Grado RA-1. You might also want to get flat pads if the high frequencies bother you. All for about $1k - the synergy with the grado amp and headphone are about as good as it gets for that price.
