Cowon X5 LINE OUT = Bad SQ?

LIke the title says, I lined it into my canamp... blah.... and straight into Senns or Denon sounds bad too.... Is there a setting in Rockbox to activate the Line Out?... At first I thought it was bad cables, but the HF jack just sounds good... even into the canamp.... I'm confused.

It's been settled for a while that the line-out of the X5 is horrid

Simply having a line out does not mean it is implemented well, and the X5 is implemented about as well the screen door on a submarine.
