Does 1 Corinthians 2:9 mean Heaven will be more joyous than we can contemplate?

1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV) states:
>But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Does this mean that the joy of Heaven is incomprehensibly great or that some *quality* of the experience is beyond the current ability to contemplate?
For example, for foods that one has not tasted one might be unable to contemplate the particular taste (qualitative factor) but have had previous experience of the same degree of pleasure in tasting. Such tasting of new foods would be beyond contemplation in the second sense but not in the first sense.
So was Paul indicating that what is beyond contemplation is how much joy or some qualitative aspect?
