Mee too. But nice to know that this works now. For the cable connection I take the micro iDSD Sig.

I really want one of those. Being undecided between that and the Diablo for a while. I don’t need the extra power of the Diablo and love the xbass. Do you use it a lot?

Signature ist way more flexible. Diablo was not my cup of tea.

What's new?

This is what I found in release notes

Sleep mode – removed
• LED indication – double click for ON/OFF
• Minor bug fixes
• HWA improvements

but here is what bugs me.. in 2021 it wants me to side load apk on my phone subverting App Store checks for quality of app and then asks to allow access to contacts , media .. why contacts media file permission yes, why contacts ?

So it now works with an iPhone without saying it draws too power and with a lightning to usb c cable?

Not at the moment, but we're working on it!



Shortly we should have this info and either @Sebastien Chiu or me will post it in this thread.

Really?????

So update for your product is released, but can only be used by an Android phone, not a computer????

Doesn't bode well for my incoming Go Blu later this week...

Updated the FW, still hisses with my Dunu EST112 out of 4.4mm. I also tried the Oriolus Isaballae with 4.4mm on the previous version, didn’t hiss so obviously there are different impedances in play as well.

Hopefully the next FW can provide better support for sensitive IEMs out of 4.4mm

Found a perfect hard travel case for ifi go blu

Is there a change in sound signature or features. From release notes it seems they tweaked some settings on LED Display. Sony was notorious for changing sound signature each FW release. The stock sound of ifi go blu is simply sublime

I didn’t notice much change in sound signature. Didn’t figure out how that LED toggling works, tried some double clicking but didn’t see any difference.

I think the gain setting has been changed? It might have increased as I notice some faint hissing with my Isabellae now. I didn’t remember what my volume settings were before the update but it seems like it’s quite loud now with less volume increment. Someone should check this before and after the update.

The GAIA Control app is SUPER BUGGY on my Sony Xperia 5 (Android 11 on latest patch). It is borderline frozen after launch and just impossible to do anything on it. This is officially the worst app (ever just for updating firmware) on any Bluetooth headphone adapter I ever used, considered I have used almost everyone one of them.

Unimpressed.

I struggled with it as well. You need to make sure that the GO is in pairing mode even if you have already paired it to that device.

Also you need to give it full location access, not just a one time only. Mine started working perfectly after I did that.
Just revoke the permissions afterwards.

Thanks, setting to full location access seems to do the trick. My X5 only allows me set to 'when app running' by default and I need to go into app setting to change it to full access. Still, someone should really rework the app.

Still hoping for an FW update to fix this. Not even an IEM like the 64 Audio Trio with its LID tech could subdue the hiss completely, which is quite surprising.

Funny reading some of the comments relative to the price point of this little guppy.

Here are my early thoughts:

1. This device is solid. If you buy it, have fun, don't worry so much what it competes with.
2. There is definitely $200 of value here...likely more.
3. Running iPhone --> ifi --> Don't get any hiss or mircophonics (as of yet)
4. The volume knob could be smoother --> little on the clicky/plastic side --> you have to accept some things at this price

Sound is clean + slightly warm ifi house sound. Still amazed at how small this things is. Enjoy your music + Drink IPA/Beer.

ouch, thought the volume knob is metal, not plastic?
