I'm using FUN(EARTH)>K702 combo. I'm quite satisfied with these but the sound is kind of dull
What is the right OPA if I want more bass and warmness for FUN
Thanks in advance

When you say dull, do you mean lacks dynamics?
 
Moon has more warmth and bass but less dynamics, and sun has more brightness and dynamics but less bass.

@haloxt  Thanks
Actually there's no complain about bass quality and quantity, but rather these combo lack warmth, glossiness or musicality in low-mid frequency.
 
By the way, I'm confused by your statement "Moon has more warmth and bass but less dynamics"
I've seen "warmth and bass" and "dynamics" as almost same thing but may be I'm wrong
You mean  "sound stage" when you say " dynamics"?

 

[haloxt]

By dynamics I mean transient speed, attack, and for instruments to sound like they are at distinct and different speeds and different decay.
 
If you are interested in warmth, the moon hdam may be what you need, but I would warn you that it is rather rolled off in the highs and a little less detailed than the earth hdam.

haloxt is right, it sounds like a job for the Moon hdam. Make sure you give it enough time to burn in though, it will sound fuller and less congested.

ok then the moon is the way I go. I'll take the plunge
Thanks for your input

Of course I thought of buying another headphones at first.
But after trying many $200-500 headphones with high reputation here, I found myself liking these headphones more and more in spite of the dullness and analytical sound K702 itself has.
So I just wanted a little bit different sound with least investment

Fair enough then.  I have a spare Moon HDAM if you'd like me to drop one in the mail, since you're in Tokyo.  PM me and let me know.

So I got my FUN today. But I already faced one problem... I ordered OPA-Earth and Moon and I'm REALLY NOT a DIY guy, so I dunno how to install the Earth... -.-"
I know the place where to put it but there seems to be some kinda OPA(very little though) already mounted and i can't get it off. And if u could answer in english, not in some HiFi language, i would be happy.

That's the stock opa and yes it is a bit difficult to get off, you just need to get under it with something and pry it off.  
Orient the Earth/Moon/Sun the correct way.  (The ground wire should be coming out of the opa facing the front of the Fun.)
Insert the Earth/Moon/Sun.
Unscrew the ground / place the Earth/Moon/Sun's ground connection there and screw it down.  (It's just there to secure the wire, you don't have to go crazy getting it tight.)
 
Here's a picture of mine with the ground wire's connection visible.  Again, do make sure you get the orientation of the Earth/Moon/Sun correct.

Thanks, that helped me alot! But where was that screw for the earth-wire when u got ur own? Cause it's not on the place it should be... Or did it come somewhere with those OPAs?

 

[sphinxvc]

Mine was already there in the Fun. (Not with opas)  Just had to remove it, place the ground wire & then screw it back on.
