iFi audio GO pod + IEMs = brilliant wireless sound on the GO!

[Nick24JJ]

I wonder if this is phone specific

When I use my Pods the volume is the same as it was from the previous session

Are you on the latest firmware v1.49?
Which phone do you have, if I may ask?

Latest firmware and using Samsung S23Ultra
I'll check again later to confirm to see if volume is at same level

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, too. Set the volume to a low level and place them back in the case. Then check if this level is kept.

Has anyone here used the iFi GO Pods with a Cayin N7 and Trailii - with LDAC @ 990kbps? Would be really intrigued to hear of your experience and opinions; as it will very likely inform my decision to buy.

So the high definition calls and the LDAC optimization only for phones with Snapdragon Gen1 chipset or above. It seems I have to upgrade my phone since mine only with Snapdragon 888.
I experience much better SQ after the update. Swapped back to LDAC from aptx adaptive. So far the transmission is perfect. Good job there Ifi.

Just started using the pods for the night....volume level was same as it was when I used last night

I did a bit more testing and here is how it works on my Samsung S23 Ultra.

The GO Pod remembers the last volume level only if I will set the "Disable Absolute Volume" to OFF. Like in the screenshot.

If I will turn this setting to ON the GO Pod plays at a very loud volume level and I have to lower the volume each time I take them out of the case and then put them on my ears.

I set the Absolute Volume to ON because I like my phone's volume to be set to max and to control the playback volume from the GO Pods.
Shouldn't the GO Pod remember the last volume setting? I am not sure how this is supposed to work.

@iFi audio , @Mr BubbaHyde can you clarify, please?

I've asked and as soon as we know something, either me or @Mr BubbaHyde will provide some info, thanks!

How to cancel shutdown after 10 minutes of inactivity

I'd like to know if this can be disabled as well. Not a feature I find useful.

Also updated to new firmware and notice slightly better technical performance. Slightly wider stage and more resolving with Ronin. A welcomed update, except for the auto power off after 10 mins.

Thanks for flagging and we've already asked internally about that too. Thanks!

@Mr BubbaHyde

Are you using the Cirrus Logic CS43131 or CS43198 into the GO Pods?

 

[Mr BubbaHyde]

I will ask again for you, I thought you had already gotten a response to this question, my apologies.

Cheers!!

Go Pod owners, can you please test if your GO Pod auto shuts down after 10 minutes when you are in a call?
An easy way to test this is to record a voice clip using the Voice Recorder of your phone. Does the GO Pod automatically power off after 10 minutes?

@iFi audio , @Mr BubbaHyde , can you try this?

Thank you

Mine wasn't exactly 10 minutes but it did shut off. Not sure what happened, magically connected after, then reconnected again.
