Just thought it would helpful to share my experience ordering the FUN with AGD.
Ordered the B version and was sent a confirmation of the components in my unit.
At the end of my first week I was advised by Olor1n to change the output on my Macbook to 24-bit/96 khz to take advantage of my TE7022 usb module. I tried.
It turns out AGD forgot to install the TE7022 and I'm limited to 16-bit/48 khz usb input.
I wrote AGD and asked them to ship the TE7022 module to me.
They replied that they forgot to install it and coincidentally also forgot to charge me for it, they said they would ship free if I paid $26 for the TE7022. I opted to use the free shipping on the sun op-amp instead since I will soon be using optical anyway.
Bhaskarjyotik - I would second the config. olor1n recommended except I would advise that you forego the TE7022 if you have optical or coax output (both are 24-bit / 96 khz) from your source/computer.
You may want to think long and hard about the NFB-12 vs. FUN if you don't intend to play around with the FUN's components. An advantage of the FUN is the Earth opamp which is excellent, I haven't heard the stock one as I took it out as soon as I got the unit. However you may want to look into the op-amp I speak of in the above post that the OP of this thread used successfully with the FUN. If the NFB-12's op-amp is socketed like the FUN's it may be worth it to shoot for the dual 8741s the NFB-12 has.
If the NFB-12 sounds as good as the FUN with the Earth opamp then the NFB-12 is money spent well, very very well.
Edit: though this post sounds quite negative I quite like the FUN and am happy with the SQ I'm getting from it for the price I paid.
