Review of the Audio-GD FUN - A modular Dac / Headphone amp / Preamp
Apr 16, 2019 at 12:10 AM Post #1,246 of 1,252
Update - Wolfson DAC modules are no longer available so I opted for an external DAC, which is much less harsh than the 1852 but still amazingly revealing, moreso in fact, with a wider soundstage etc etc.
Probably the best option for this unit if looking for upgrades beyond opamp rolling, as the AD1852/Wolfson DAC modules are limiting the potential of the ACSS headphone / preamp outputs, which I am still a fan of.

Last one.. high gain is a must, no exceptions. ACSS is used only in high gain, something else I learned later in my ownership of the fun.. good thing I have a DAC that attenuates now :D
hope this unit never fails.

I'm still using it after 8 years. Mine has Wolfson DAC + upgraded USB32 interface. I was using low gain until I saw your post. Thank you.

Anyone out there still using one of these? I got one last year and am very happy. It's a late one with WM8741 and TE7022 modules. Would love to know how to upgrade to USB32 as mentioned just above which would make it the complete package for me.
