A built-in CMOS-MEMS microphone enables hands-free calls, gaming chat, and voice assistant access. Its USB-C port adds flexibility, serving as both a charging and audio input, supporting hi-res PCM up to 24-bit/96kHz for non-Bluetooth devices.
HD Bluetooth 5.1
The GO blu redefines Bluetooth audio with Qualcomm's QCC5100 chip, supporting all major high-definition codecs: aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, LDAC, HWA/LHDC, AAC, and SBC. It ensures the highest audio resolution for any source device, setting a new standard for pocket-sized DAC/amps.
The GO blu is Bluetooth v5.1-compliant, ensuring the best possible range, stability and performance, and its ‘Bluetooth engine’ can be updated over the air. ensuring peak performance.
Swiss Chronograph design & implementation
GO blu‘s ChronoDial is a masterpiece of precision engineering and, just like a Chronograph, it gives you precise, analogue volume control. You can use it to play, pause, and skip tracks forward and backwards and even activate the voice assistant on your Bluetooth-connected smart device.
Its premium construction includes anti-corrosion brass components, a stainless steel bearing and main dial with beryllium cobalt copper coating, a high-purity nickel spring, and a CNC-machined aluminium button for durability and elegance.
GO Balanced
The GO blu delivers exceptional audio clarity, whether using balanced or non-balanced headphones. Its 4.4mm balanced output fully utilizes its balanced amp design, while the 3.5mm output features iFi’s S-Balanced circuitry to minimize crosstalk and distortion, ideal for high-sensitivity IEMs.
Both outputs are gold-plated, ensuring long-lasting, high-quality connections.
Three. Unique. Stages.
The GO blu uniquely integrates separate Bluetooth, DAC, and amp stages, each expertly engineered for cutting-edge performance and exceptional sound quality. Its Bluetooth stage features Qualcomm's advanced QCC5100 chip, while the DAC stage employs a Cirrus Logic 32-bit chip with precision filtering and clocking for ultra-low distortion.The amp stage, with symmetrical twin-mono signal paths and up to 5.6V output, delivers powerful, clean audio, automatically adjusting gain to suit connected headphones or earphones.
