Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

After seeing several other posts, I realized that I had not 
properly stated my concerns with the sound of the DTXpress when 
using headphones.  

I do not have a problem with volume or clarity of sound through my 
headphones, until I try to play with anything through the AUX in 
connection.  With that added load, the quality (and volume to a 
degree) seem to get unacceptable, at least to me.  Using a mixer with 
the DTXpress coming in on one channel, and the other program source 
(same ones I tried directly through AUX IN) through another channel, 
and with the same headphones I had previously connected to the 
DTXpress now connected to the mixer's headphone out, my headphone 
sound is now wonderful, whether playing along with an outside source, 
or without.  Now, isn't that a lovely a run-on sentence?
