iFi audio GO blu - Super small. Super light. Super Sound.

If I were making an update to the go blue - i'd add an integrated clip (or a nicer clip case), and better build quality. Other than that... no complaints. I've been using mine almost 3 years and its still going strong. Its the only bluetooth dac/amp that controls system volume which i prefer

The only downside of the Go Blu is poor BT range.
Otherwise, it is a great sounding little amp/dac

Love the go blu sound and form factor.. my problem is sporadic volume jumps due to shared volume with iPhone.. most of us leave our phones at full volume, which sets us up for hearing damage.. also if you’re someone like me that uses voice to text that can also be a huge problem with volume spikes

Hello,

I believe the GO Blu does, it can remember up to 8 devices if I remember correctly.

Cheers!!

I guess that’s the memory for known devices, but it doesn’t actually connect to more than one at a time?
I’d interpret multipoint as „connects to more than one device and can switch“, classic example being a DAP/computer and a phone: listening to music, with switching over upon a phone call coming in.

yeah, that's what I meant

What I would always buy in portable players, these should have at least a 500GB memory and be expandable with USB.
An indoor portable player + headphone amp with a reasonably large display would be interesting. Doesn't have to have batteries built in!
I currently have 353.48 GB of music files, most of which are in FLAC format on my computer hard drive.
Listening to these in the house or garden would be a hit, a power connection is no problem.

A bit off topic, but take a look at the Fiio M17. Doesn’t have much internal memory, but can read USB media and has a micro SD slot, good DAC and amp.
