An external amp will solve your problems , the DAC on the AK100 is great, so why not just look at a headphone amp?
Yes, why not.
ALO ? JDSLabs ? Cypherlabs ?

Regardless, the MKII is 3 ohms impedance, so it's not a hurdle with some IEM/Heads.
There is no true line out for AK, so using an external amp would be double amping. Though there are some who claim using headphone out at max volume acts like a true line out since the sound is very clean.
I am curious on how RSA Intruder compares with ADL X1 and ALO International with AK100. Anyone had any experience?
there's the Centrance M8, Venture Craft Typhoon and XDuoo which does optical input from the AK100. That would skip the issue of not having a true line out.
I have tried ALO International with my AK100... only issue is, i aint got the money.
Finally finished reading all 518 pages of this thread. Lost 20 IQ points in the process (some of the....nonsense...at various points...sheesh), which is a worry given I only had 22 to begin with. My work here is done.
