FUN Technical characteristic:

The FUN has 14 plug-in digital and analogue modules with different sound "flavors" allowing the owner to tune the sound to taste and get an idea of the different effects of different circuits, as well as upgrade features in the future. (without solder, only unplugging and plugging the modules).

The FUN uses DC servo circuits to keep the output offset at zero, so there are no coupling caps in the signal path.

The FUN uses 5 groups high-quality PSU with dedicated DC supply circuits for each section of the unit, to ensure the highest sound quality.

The FUN additionally has 4 sound adjustment settings: "Neutral" , "Soft 1" , "Soft 2" and "Soft 3". Owners only spend less than 30 seconds for choice the settings.

The FUN comes in two versions: Version A uses ACSS (Audio-gd Current Signal System, which is a current signal transmission system) and Version B is a conventional voltage feedback amp. Users can easy exchange between version A and version B without solder by simply unplugging and plugging in alternate modules.

The FUN has a built-in headphone amp and pre amp, and also has a line in allowing it to be used as just a headphone amp or preamp, bypassing the DAC. The Headphone amp/preamp can also use ACSS technology. Currently we offer 5 different gain modules and 2 different output modules for different flavors.

The FUN has a fully functioning, built-in DAC with USB, coaxial and optical input. The coaxial and optical inputs support up to 24Bit/192K. It can be used as a standalone DAC. The D/A chips can be changed without solder, allowing owners to choose between the AD1852 and WM8740 DA chips.

The FUN functions:
     Front plate:
    Gain button: Push in for low gain (Version A is +2DB, Version B is +3DB), out is high gain (both version is +13DB).
     Volume knob: Control the volume level of the headphone/pre amp.
     Line Out: Push in for headphone output, out for preamp output.
     Line In: Push in for analogue input, to use it as just a headphone amp or preamp, leave out to use with the in-built DAC.
     Selector knob: Select built in DAC source between USB , coaxial and optical.
     Rear:
     Power socket: For power input.
     USB socket: For USB input.
     Opt socket: For optical input.
     Coa socket: For coaxial input.
     DAC out sockets:    For in-built DAC analogue output.
     Line In sockets:    For extra analogue input, to use it as just a headphone amp or preamp, leave out to use with the in-built DAC.
     Line out sockets:   Out for preamp output.

The FUN will come in a 100-127V version and a 220-240 version, depending on the geographical location and customer’s choice. The reason we don't make it with a selectable voltage is that 1: We are afraid if customers choose the wrong voltage, they will wreck their unit, and 2: While in low quality audio equipment, you can't hear the effect on the sound quality of using a selectable voltage switch, in hi-quality gear, which includes the FUN, the deterimental effects of using a voltage selection switch will be audible, not to mention the positive effects of a better power cable.
