Engineered for demanding audiophiles looking for a portable DAC and headphone amplifier with high-quality Bluetooth streaming, the GO blu from iFi audio offers a sophisticated feature set in a compact package that is ready for travel and weighs less than an AA battery. The GO blu's four-core Bluetooth processing chip supports many Bluetooth audio formats, allowing you to ditch the cable to your mobile device and stream every possible source at the highest Bluetooth specifications it allows, while 5.1 compliance ensures the best possible range, stability, and performance. Connect balanced headphones to the 4.4mm output or unbalanced headphones to the 3.5mm jack, which uses S-balanced circuitry to reduce crosstalk and distortion.
The GO blu will run for up to 10 hours on its built-in rechargeable battery. The battery is charged via the USB Type-C port, which can also be used as a digital input supporting audio resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. The elegant and soft polymer enclosure helps to optimize Bluetooth reception. A multifunction ChronoDial provides precise analog volume control and allows you to play, pause, and skip tracks forwards or backwards; you can even use it to activate the voice assistant on your mobile device. The built-in high-quality microphone enables hands-free calls, voice chat for gaming, and access to voice assistants such as Apple Siri and Google Assistant.
