If you did manage to find a USB to phono lead then be prepared to blow your speakers!
USB is a digital data exchange connector, not an analogue audio connector. So a simple lead would never work. There would have to be a shed load of electronics in the way. And that assumes the Cowon actually can stream audio via USB. If not then it could get very messy.
The headphone jack to phono lead should just work. Stupid question but you have tried adjusting the volume on the Cowon? If you have the volume turned right down then obviously it will be quiet.
