Although it's probably not relevant to your solution, I just wanted to echo Don's comment on headphone sensitivity. I've owned a lot of electronics over the years, and the KX1 definitely wants more sensitive headphones than any of them. For instance, I have a pair of Delta Airlines earbuds that basically don't work at all, but my Bose Quietcomfort noise cancelling phones SCREAM when connected to the rig. It's a pretty low signal coming out of the jack, but with the right phones, it sounds wonderful.
