SACD through headphones...

Can you play a multi-ch SACD through headphones?
Will you benefit in sound compared to a red book?

And yes, you should hear a difference, provided the SACD sounnd better than the redbook version-whici is usually the case. Anytime the source is better, whatever is downstream will sound better.
