Tech Lowdown

Hi-Res Portable

Bluetooth DAC

The pocket-sized GO blu delivers heavenly headphone

sound on the go.

▪The world’s first miniature Bluetooth DAC/amp to

support the latest hi-res codecs and deliver the best-

quality audio streaming from smartphones, tablets

and other portable sources.

▪First miniature Bluetooth DAC to use the latest

QC5100 chipset. This means Bluetooth v5.1 and twice

as much processing power as the previous version still

widely used today.

Hi-Res Portable

Bluetooth DAC

▪Separate Bluetooth, DAC and amp stages –

individually optimized for maximum performance

▪Built-in mic for hands-free calls when paired with your

smartphone

▪Balanced twin-mono circuit design with Direct Drive

equals ultra-low distortion

▪Fully-balanced and S-Balanced outputs make the

most of all headphone types
