The compact iFi audio GO blu device is a miniature DAC, Bluetooth receiver, and headphone amplifier. The model is housed in a casing with a pleasant tactile coating and is distinguished by its high-quality construction. At the same time, in terms of functionality and level of design solutions used, iFi audio GO blu currently has almost no analogues on the market.
Unlike most competing models, this device has three independent sections for performing the main functions - wireless signal reception from the source, digital-to-analog conversion, and signal amplification for headphone output. Each of these circuits represents the most advanced solution available on the market today.
The Bluetooth module in iFi audio GO blu belongs to the latest 5.1 generation and supports all enhanced audio codecs: AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, LDAC, and LHDC/HWA. The DAC in this model is based on the latest Cirrus Logic CS43131 microchip. It provides 32-bit signal processing accuracy, guaranteeing a wide dynamic range and very low distortion. The device is also equipped with a USB-C input for connection to compatible devices, through which signal reception with parameters up to 24-bit/96kHz is possible.
The analog section of the iFi audio GO blu is built using a balanced circuitry with custom-made operational amplifiers. Additionally, the special DirectDrive technology ensures the most efficient signal transfer without the need for capacitors. The audio circuitry of the iFi audio GO blu utilizes selected components, including TDK and muRata capacitors. There are two headphone jacks in the model - a balanced 4.4mm and an unbalanced 3.5mm. They are manufactured with high precision and possess exceptional reliability and durability.
You can alter the sound character of the music using the XSpace and XBass modes. The built-in battery of the iFi audio GO blu will last approximately 10 hours of music playback. The volume can be adjusted using a miniature wheel with a convenient texture, and the operating modes can be controlled through a multi-colored LED.@@The ChronoDial GO blu is a masterpiece of engineering, and like a chronograph, it provides precise analog volume control. You can use it to play, pause, and skip tracks forward and backward, and even activate the voice assistant on your Bluetooth-connected smart device.
XBass and XSpace Functionality
Take advantage of the XBass and XSpace features to enhance bass output and expand the soundstage. The GO blu may be small on the outside, but it is powerful on the inside. You will be immersed in its amazing musicality.
