I'm in the market for a damn good new set of phones too. Not sure which direction I'm going to head in, although I'm really liking the Grado RS-1. I haven't heard the Denon's, and many seem to like them.
Back to the original question, there is something both intimate and isolated about headphone listening that makes it, at times a very intense and emotional experience. It's like all distractions are gone and there is only me and the music. On some level I guess I feel it's also more immersive.
I'm using the Consonance Cyber 20B headphone amp, and I've done a fair bit of tube rolling with it, although nothing crazy. With my old and trusty Sennheiser HD-535's, I get a nice stereo image and dry but decent bass. Vocals are quite nice and electric guitar solos are beautiful, or at least can be. Piano's not so good.
