K5synth

Yes, I saw them, but you get a lot of new problems
with the headphones output, it's still as noisy as
before, but there's a sudden gain boost when you rise
the volume which seems to clip the LM386 amplifier.

Maybe it's just a matter of filtering the power going
to the output chips, because the line outputs used
with a separate hedphones amp produces much less noise
than using the headphones output. 

Now that I see that someone is interested, I'll start
to look for possible upgrades.
