iFi Go blu — portable Bluetooth DAC and amplifier

When listening to music on the go, it is often difficult to achieve top-notch sound quality, especially when using the outputs built into phones. iFi Go blu, weighing just 26 g, solves this problem by combining a portable Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier with features typically found in larger Hi-Fi systems. With support for Bluetooth 5.1 (Qualcomm QCC5100) and a wide range of Hi-Res Bluetooth codecs such as aptX HD, LDAC and LHDC, it ensures transmission in the highest possible quality. With its compact dimensions and high performance, it is the ideal solution for lovers of high-quality sound who do not want to compromise.

Hi-Res Bluetooth without compromise

iFi Go blu supports all modern Hi-Res Bluetooth codecs, including aptX Adaptive, aptX Low Latency, LDAC and AAC, allowing wireless music transmission in the highest possible quality. The device automatically connects to your source in optimal quality, without the signal loss or distortion typical of conventional Bluetooth chips. This approach ensures a clean and detailed listening experience, regardless of your music library.

iFi Sound Technology and Performance

Unlike conventional Bluetooth devices, the iFi Go blu uses a separate architecture that includes separate Bluetooth, DAC and amplification stages. Balanced twin mono construction with DirectDrive minimizes distortion, ensuring a natural and detailed sound. The device supports 4.4 mm balanced (Pentaconn) and 3.5 mm S-Balanced outputs, the latter of which achieves up to 50% lower distortion than standard single-ended outputs. Power output of up to 245 mW @ 32 Ω (balanced) or 165 mW @ 32 Ω (single-ended) is sufficient even for demanding headphones, while the output impedance of less than 1 Ω is ideal for sensitive IEMs.

Analogue sound adjustments: XBass and XSpace

To enhance your listening experience, the iFi Go blu offers two unique analogue sound adjustments. XBass adds deep bass without distortion, while XSpace expands the spatiality of the sound, which you will appreciate when listening to orchestral music or live recordings. These adjustments can be combined in three modes: XBass, XSpace or XBass + XSpace, and are done purely analogue, without the use of DSP.

Controls, portability and battery

With a built-in microphone and intuitive volume control, you can enjoy hands-free calls or control your voice assistant without having to take out your phone. Memory for up to 8 paired devices makes it easy to switch between sources. With a battery life of up to 10 hours and fast charging via USB-C, the iFi Go blu is the perfect companion for everyday use. The compact dimensions 55 × 34 × 13 mm make it easy to carry in your pocket or bag.
