Is there an ASIO driver for GO BLUE ? Or it is just wasapi ? When I upgrade my recent Go BLU I saw a package of drivers for windows (left side of the page) I installed, but when I go to roon (usb connected) is just appear wasapi option.

I thought all of this "adding channels together" nonsense was resolved years ago... In fact, I still remember when the standards changed (1970s I think)...

I see that Sony still rates per channel. I had no idea that others didn't.

It's more common for folks (including us) to do things differently.

There is not an official ASIO driver - I would recommend downloading our official USB drivers however, seen here on the bottom left hand corner if you have not already:

Dear IFI, currently my device at latest firmware: 3.09.
I would like to clarify a few points about IFI Go Blu and Tidal Windows and Android app compatibility issues:
1. On Windows:
When using TIDAL in Exclusive mode, and changing between MQA and non-MQA tracks, volume could suddenly increase to very high levels, which could damage hearing. As I know, its well-known issue for a while, but wouldn't fixed yet.
If compare IFI GoBlu with Fiio Q3, Fiio Q3 has volume knob also, but device output volume can only be changed with volume knob, and can't be changed from any software.
Maybe you can do the same in IFI GoBlu, just give users an option which prevent volume control from software, give user full control of volume level only with volume knob?
2. On Android 12:
When I connect IFI GoBlu with USB cable to Android device, then had given direct access to DAC in TIDAL, TIDAL app freezes every time.
Its only possible to play music from TIDAL by USB through IFI GoBlu, if I decline TIDAL app request for DAC direct access.
Then I tried with iFi Micro iDSD Signature, same as before, approved direct access in TIDAL, TIDAL wasn't freeze, then everything works smooth...
Maybe you could contact with TIDAL R&D, and give them instructions how they software need to initialize/communicate with IFI GoBlu?

1. iFi Go Blu comes with digital volume control not other device which offer analog volume pot…. so it behaves like that.

2.Micro iDSD Signature offer MQA support, Go Blu don’t…..so is the behaviour.

1. Actually yes and no. When Fiio Q3 software gets froze, moving volume knob have no effect... This behavior could be set on firmware level.
2. This kind of behavior isn't normal. Whether DAC could "unfold" MQA or not, TIDAL will stream PCM into it, so DAC must be able to decode it. Same thing for Windows client, when I connect DAC to Windows, open TIDAL and choose "Exclusive" mode, DAC could process the audio signal, and nothing freeze...

I'm trying to update my firmware on Android, apparently I'm currently on 2.07 but every time I select a .bin I get this:

Has anyone experienced this?

I have not personally - have you been able to try with a different phone? Do you still get the issue?

You try re-downloading the .bin?

I don't have another android phone but have access to an iPhone so will give that a go and let you know.

 

[Gww1]

Yeah I tried a couple of times just in case and re installed the app, but still the same error.

Maybe a factory reset?
