iʻm not sure about current day grados...in the past, grados have always paired well with the gilmore-lite.

I like my Grados paired with RME. Fast and articulate bass. Good slam. Very clean and crispy mids and neutral highs.
e.g. with Leonard Cohen intimacy is very strong. Very.
And as a bonus you have opportunity to tune that lower bass a bit higher. If you want to. I did and it lifts RS2x even higher on ladders.

Is their new version V202 ok? I don't see V200 on the market.IMHO --> in the price range of the Burson Conductor (or even sightly less) you might get more enjoyment / synergy in pairing Grado + Violectric. The v200 pop up in classifieds from time-to-time. You could consider pairing with the Modius..or even a Bifrost 2 ....
Also my liking sound signature is U shape with about -2db at 3khz. I like good amount of treble but smooth treble, my ear sensitive with 3khz.

I've not heard any of the new models - so I'll refrain from providing opinion on those units directly. I'd be surprised to hear if they no longer maintain some of the older (full bodied) characteristics.
Perhaps other's here with recent experience with newer models will drop a thought or two.
Debating on selling my 325E. I’ll be honest, my LCD2s and Bathys have stolen most of their listening. I have had mine forever though. I still love the way they sound tho

Keep 'em. It will save you the trouble of having to buy them back later.

not bad advice. I sold a pair of hifiman he-6 and regret it to this day. still one of my favorite headphones and hard to find. the 325e is easier to find so selling wouldn't be a terrible idea if you ever want to repurchase in the future.

I've found Burson gear to sound great with Grados, but their products with digital volume control aren't really well-suited for higher-sensitivity headphones. Even on the Playmate 2 in low gain, I thought that "01" was still too loud! The Burson Funk, with its 3W Class-A headphone stage and analogue volume-pot is great with my GH1.

Well, I certainly opened a can of worms here. And all I said was that I bought something on his recommendation and didn’t like it. I guess we’re all on the same page.It is rather hard to hear when one’s head is up one’s …

The issue is that as you get hooked into this hobby, there are relatively few non-schills out there providing information.
It used to be fine when there were a number of well written sources like Innerfidelity, but alas videos produce more income for content providers.
It is hard to find places where you can listen to and compare many headphones at once as it used to be pre-covid.
Generally this and the Schiit forums have been the most useful sources of information for me, hence why we defend it vigorously from the measure-holes.
