Well, the repeater amp is pretty hot. I,too can't use the headphones levels higher than 3. This depends also on the resistance of the headphones. For example AKG makes two kinds of every serie of headphones, M and S. All the M have a value of 600 Ohms (and therefore are lower in perceived volume) and the S are 55 Ohm, so they sound louder.
