It could be a combination of the AN1x and the headphones you are using.  I use a pair of Sennheiser HD580's, and while the volume is adequate, it's not overly loud.  I was prepared for this:  All of the reviews said that the Sennheisers really need a strong amp to drive them, because of their high impedance.

Years ago, most headphones were 8 ohms, and all headphone outputs on stereos, etc. were set up to handle this load.  These days, headphone impedances are all over the place, from around 30 ohm to tens of thousands of ohms.
