Did you ask Kingwa? Send audio-gd an email. He will give you an honest answer.

Ah nope but it seems to be good idea

. I will do it in the evening. Thx

I asked him and he said it should be OK (I asked for T1 which is 600 Ohms).

 

[TheDuke990]

Hmm "it should be okay" is not what I have expected to read

.

The FUN will probably have enough juice to drive the 600 ohms to insane levels. However, the difference with the bigger units (C2/ROC/Phoenix) will be about how better it will drive them.

Looking at the specs, the FUN is rated at 3.5watts at 25 ohms. As a comparison, the Little Dot mk V (which is an amp only) has only 0.5 watts at 32 ohms. Of course, it doesn't tell how it performs on a 600 ohms, but it should give an idea of how good the power supply is on the FUN... There are perhaps other DAC/Amps that have even more power than the FUN at a similar price, but personally I am not aware of any.

3.5 W at 25 ohms ? Holy crap slim.a ! Is that total or per channel ?

Peete.

I found the number on the FUN specs page (н¨ÍøÒ³ 1). I think it is 3.5 W per channel but it is better to confirm with Kingwa.

I think the power is so high with the FUN because it has a class A/B amp (vs. Pure Class A for C2/Roc/Phoenix).

Also, it doesn't hurt that it has a beefy 50watts toroidal transformer I suppose...

 

[Pricklely Peete]

Mine has a toroidal...yours has an R-Core ?

Peete.

 

[realmassy]

I think is a typo: the new C2 amp (which is supposed to be better) is 1000mv on 62 ohm

Sorry, that was I typo (I corrected it).

The C2 (as well as the old C2C) are class A amps. I remember reading somewhere that the FUN was class A/B which would explain why it has a higher power rating than the C2.

Here is what all you need to know I think :

"The FUN can output 160MW a 600 ohms, max SPL for Ti is 123DB"
"The FUN output 160MW/600 ohms distortion less than 0.1%, the output 10V is test in 20HZ to 20KHZ."
Kingwa


I'm currently seeing with Beyer if these specs will suit the T1 which is 600 Ohms, not only to provide enough loudness but also enough voltage to get the voice coil to move properly as others suggested to think of and determine in the T1 thread.
Beyer replied at the first sentence I had from Kingwa right now, so the FUN will have no problem driving the T1 loud enough regarding to its specs.
I'm waiting for another reply from Beyer on the second sentence I had from Kingwa, so I'll know if the FUN will also be able to drive T1 properly.

what's the amperage?

 

[HeatFan12]

Slim, another great review indeed...

Now, get some sleep, you are too busy...

I posted this question in another thread but since this is the FUN thread-

Quote:

Question for FUN owners- I ordered the FUN (A). What is the stock configuration when shipped (DIR9001, DA1852, OPA 2134, diamond buffers)? Default sound flavor settings? I ordered the 3 OPAs for it, but don't want to open it up yet and start swapping. Want to get used to all the different configs first. Thanks in advance.

 

[Pacha]

Everything stock is what is mentionned as stock on the FUN page on Audio-gd's website, so yes DIR9001, DA1852, OPA2134, diamond buffers. default sound flavor is neutral.

You may try the FUN for a little time with OPA2134 and then switch to Earth or one the others to appreciate the improvement of the Earth over the OPA2134.
You may also consider replacing the stock power cable and audio cable.
