Yeah, mines exactly the same. I've got an adapter but the pins of the opa earth dont fully seat in the adapter. So now I'm not really sure what to do.
As for an impression, Im gonna let the Fun and opa burn in some more. So far the difference is a very defined sound stage compared to the d1, and the d1 was already a huge step up from the sound cards i've heard. Also the clarity is absolutely amazing. Very detailed! With the opa earth in the fun it's perfect, the sound is quite balanced, flat and uncoloured. The opa moon is similar to the maverick except clearer highs lows and soundstage. The base and treble are nicely defined with a slight loss of the midrange. I guess a slight v on the eq is the way to describe it. It's better at hiding the low quality recordings and mp3s in my collection.
I would definitely say the D1 had some merits though. With acoustic songs the maverick really shines. It colours the sound of an acoustic guitar perfectly. Probably the result of the tube out. The one thing about the maverick that show up now that I have the fun is the popping sound. With the maverick and optical in I kept getting a popping sound from my speakers when switching tracks or scanning tracks. This was also more evident when using wasapi. It was pretty irritating. The Audio-gd fun has no such problem.
My impressions of the maverick and Fun are done with powered speakers. So Im not sure how the headphone sections differ. The maverick also sounds very different stock. My maverick was using a LME49720HA, and Imo was the best sounding opamp for the maverick. Everything else was too noisy, unbalanced and/or coloured.
