Yes, the headphone output level is generally a bit low on the Orion. It's
always been like that. I believe there are resistors in series with the
headphone output jack. I consulted with the factory and lowered those
resistors in my original Orion and improved things a bit. Sorry, but no
longer have that rig or any documentation on what I did. You might try
lowering those resistor values.
