Im running soundcard x-fi  (optical) > gamma2 (rcas') > KICAS headphone amp  > beyer cans.
 
at the moment running usb power on the dac, until i get suitable power. volume out of the can runs quite low, even at noon on the kicas, its not that loud.
 
anyone have any input/possible reasons as to why this might be ....   thanks.

Is the volume on your computer, in whatever software you're using, set at maximum?  Do you know what the gain is set at on the KICAS? It might have a low gain setting.

volume is set at 100% on the PC.... gain is 6db non-adjustable.
