Hi-res PCM audio data up to24-bit\/96kHz is supported when the GO blu is connected in this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe way iFi implements Bluetooth is anything but ‘run of the mill’ and despite its diminutive size the GO blu is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of Qualcomm’s latest four-core QCC5100 Bluetooth processing chip ensures that every current high-definition Bluetooth audio format is supported:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaptX Adaptive and aptX HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLDAC and HWA\/LHDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eregular aptX and aptX Low Latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSBC (plain vanilla Bluetooth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that every possible source device is handled at the highest audio resolution its Bluetooth specification allows – no other pocket-size DAC\/amp delivers such comprehensive codec support, or such high-quality sound over Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost pocket-size Bluetooth DAC\/headphone amps incorporate all-in-one ‘system on a chip’ solutions to deliver input processing, digital-to-analog signal conversion, and amplification. These are simple and cost-effective, but they cannot compare with expertly designed, individually optimized circuit stages when it comes to sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniquely for a device of this type and size, the GO blu’s clever design packs in separate Bluetooth + DAC + Amp stages, each engineered in distinct blocks to deliver the ideal combination of cutting-edge specification and superb sound. Others just don’t have this level of execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluetooth stage makes full use of Qualcomm’s latest four-core QCC5100 Bluetooth chip and supports every current high definition format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis then feeds the DAC stage with a Cirrus Logic 32-bit DAC chip at its heart. This is coupled with a customized digital filter to minimize pre-echoes and ringing artifacts, and a precision clock system to ensure ultra-low jitter, thus reducing errors and distortion in the digital audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp circuitry benefits from symmetrical twin-mono signal paths and utilizes iFi’s Direct Drive design concept – direct-coupled to ensure a clean signal path without distortion-inducing output coupling capacitors. The amp stage delivers up to 5.6V (twice the voltage of others) – considerably more power than other similarly sized devices – handling even relatively tough headphone loads with ease. To ensure signal strength suits the sensitivity of the connected headphones or earphones, auto-gain adjusts output up or down by 6dB.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iFi Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45319631601687,"sku":"IFI:GOBLU","price":29.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0639\/6439\/files\/i8qhtz5vtga7_0bd8fad9-7f6c-4e6e-8ef3-7d839fa5cc79.jpg?v=1784652546","url":"https:\/\/audiodvice.shop\/products\/ifi-audio-go-blu-pocket-bluetooth-dac-4oprv1","provider":"Wild Fern Baby Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
