CUSTOMISED SONIC TAILORING OPTIONS WITH XBASS AND XSPACE FEATURES

The iFi Audio GO Blu offers sonic tailoring options with two user-selectablefeatures - XBass and XSpace. The first is XBass, a sophisticated form of 'bass boost' that enhances lowfrequencies without muddying the midrange, particularly useful with earphones and open-back headphonesthatmay lack deep bass. The second is XSpace, a setting designed to compensate for the 'in-headlocalisation'effect that can occur when using headphones to listen to music that was mixed using a pair of speakers,effectively widening the headphone soundstage to deliver a more spacious and speaker-like experience.Boththese settings operate entirely in the analogue domain rather than messing with the digital signal viaDSP(Digital Signal Processing) and may be switched in or out of the signal path.


DUAL OUTPUTS WITH PENTACONN CONNECTOR AND S BALANCED CIRCUITRY

The iFi Audio GO Blu offers easy connectivity with dual headphone connectors. Whether you use balanced or unbalanced headphones, you get the low noise and best channel separation for the most enjoyable experience. The GO Blu boasts a Pentaconn 4.4mm output enabling headphones equipped with balanced connectivity to take full advantage of the GO Blu's balanced amp design. In addition, the 3.5mm output benefits from iFi's proprietary S-Balanced circuitry. This circuitry cuts crosstalk and related distortion in half when used with regular, single-ended headphone connections, this is especially beneficial with high-sensitivity in-ear monitors.

Powerful Sound!!

I have been a huge fan of portable DAC/AMPS ever since I started using FIIO BTR5 which have ruled this market segment until now. Although the BTR5s are a feature juggernaut as compared to these where you get much more control for fine tuning the sound at a granular level, the Ifi GoBlu emphasises on simplicity. No app, no confusing feature sets but pure powerful sound at your fingertips with minimal physical controls to fine tune. I love the Xbass that add just a touch of bass needed to change the entire spectrum of the music. I’m a typical metal head and I love these with my Hifiman Sundaras and my Audeze LCD 2cs, both of which are not easy to drive headphones. And the best of all is the volume knob which is a bliss to have which I really missed with the BTR5s. Overall a super tiny, light and powerful companion for your hard to drive audio gear featuring as good a sound as tbe BTR5s and even better with the addition of Xbass. And forgot to mention, Xspace is just mind blowing with QCODE podcasts.I love em. ❤️❤️
