Ah, but the only way direct conversion can convert AM to audio, without some kind of fancy DSP stuff, is to phase lock the conversion oscillator to the carrier.  My KX2 doesn't sound like it's doing that when I tune across a signal; it sounds more like a conventional superhet AM receiver.  I'm trying to figure out how you take the I and Q mixer baseband ("audio") outputs of an AM signal and convert them to audio, and in a way that works when the carrier is not exactly zero beat.
