There is a minimum level of distortion in a transformer.  I would
use simple audio cables and avoid the additional transformer(s) -
particularly since the KIO3/KIO3B interfaces use high quality
transformers to minimize the distortion.

My audio cables have an isolation transformer that I built in for use with other radios and applications.  Does it hurt to have the audio going through two 1:1 isolators or should I just use a plain audio cable?
