iFi Audio GO blu (Black/Copper) Bluetooth DAC/Headphone Amp

HD Bluetooth DAC. Apple Music, Spotify, every song on the GO!

It used to the case that, when it came to sound quality, Bluetooth meant second best. With the GO blu, this is now history. Featuring hi-res codec support, the GO blu connects to your Bluetooth source to deliver top quality, cable-free sound. Ideal for smartphones and tablets without headphone sockets or even Bluetooth equipped devices that do, but that of poor quality, the GO blu is a versatile device.

Once you’ve paired the GO blu with your music source, you’re able to plug in just about any pair of wired headphones. There’s a choice of single ended, 3.5mm output for most regular headphones and 4.4mm, balanced output for more specialised designs. Combined with a high 5.6V output, this means the GO blu is punchy enough for even the most current hungry headphones on the market.

Powered by the advanced Qualcomm QC5100 chipset, the GO blu supports a wide range of hi-res Bluetooth formats. These include aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX LL, LDAC, LHDC/HAW, AAC and SBC.

Featuring a dual-mono circuit design, the Go blu dedicates a separate channel to left and right signals. With each channel receiving a dedicated signal path, you get superior separation between the channels with reduced distortion and a more ‘holographic’ sound quality.

The handy USB-C port provides twin functions. Use it to recharge the built-in batteries once the 10-hour battery life has expired. It also outputs a digital signal at up to 24 bit/96kHz, making this ideal as a high quality Bluetooth DAC for connecting to your AV, hi-fi or speaker system (with compatible USB input).

XBass and XSpace settings tailor the sound to suit your taste and music. XBass gives an analogue bass boost, enhancing low frequencies without muddying the mid-range. XSpace analogue headphone spatialiser enhances the sound for a more spacious and enveloping sound.

A built-in microphone makes the GO blu highly convenient when connected to your smartphone. The mic means you can leave your phone in a bag or out of sight and simply use your headphones and the GO blu to take the call.
