Inexpensive headphone amplifier


I am looking to procure an inexpensive headphone amplifier to use with an old CD player.  My headphones are Grado Hemp.  Looking to keep below 400 dollars.

Options thus far Schiit Audio Vali 2 and JDS Element.

Like the idea of tube rolling so leaning towards Schiit.

But open to comments and suggestions.

Thanks

I've got a Schitt Mani (I think that's the model) I bought from a forum member a while back. It was built from a kit, if I recall correctly, and I got it to use with my Grado 325is cans, with great results. 

 

My new integrated has a headphone amp built in, so I'm going to sell the Schitt. IM me if you might be interested.
