How Do You Set Up a Headphone System?

I’ve finally got a headphone setup that I really enjoy listening to. What’s curious is that it’s about as simple as it can get: a portable CD player and headphones with cable and battery upgrades. I’ve tried using many of the same components from my 2-channel rig but I’ve always gotten mixed results. Why is that? Why do the more expensive components not help in this situation? I must be screwing up the implementation, right? So how do you setup a great headphone system for amazing sound?

You need a good source, a good set of headphones, and a good headphone amp. I'm assuming you're talking about full size headphones, not portable or in ear monitor?

Innerfidelity might be a good place to start. 

It would be helpful if you elaborate on what you've tried in your main system.
