I have a hard time believing anyone would be less than thrilled with Meitner Emm Labs gear. Of course it sounds amazing with SACD, but you know what?The redbook playback is also outrageous. You won't believe it 'til you hear it. Buy it for the red...

Best headphones you've ever heard/used

On the go.
I rip CD's to my i-pod uncompressed using AIFF and it sounds amazingly good. I play the i-pod through my car stereo using the headphone out, plugging it into an input on the car system and it also sounds great. My i-pod is like having about 150 CD... 
Best headphones you've ever heard/used
I've been listening to my Shure E3's against my Sennheiser HD580's. I've got to say the Shure E3's are superior to the Sennheiser 580's. The Shure's are more dynamic, fluid, more definition, and, for want of a better word, more fun. With the E3's ...
