"Plastic makes bluetooth work" is the hidden selling point. BTR5's connection goes in and out if it falls behind a pillow or if I walk around at all. It also gets hot if I'm connected to my Shield TV and watch anything for over an hour. I've had it a few months and it died once where I had to factory reset it. Don't undersell the volume knob either, because the rocker is finicky as hell. I'd entertain a side grade with a legit bass boost.

I have both devices and agree with basically every point of the review here. The one thing that he undersells if anything is the xbass and xspace functionality. I just enjoy using those so much more than fiddling with the EQ in the fiio app. For anyone who knows ifi gear the xbass here is much less pronounced than on something like the Zen Dac. One thing I’ll note though is that even with LDAC I can pretty easily hear a difference when on the wire. It’s all in the treble region, over BT there’s a slight distortion there that goes away when on the wire.

I have ear-tested -- not just frequency curves -- numerous portable DACs, and the difference is apparent with critical listening. iFi DAC/amps have a warm "house sound" due to their use of Burr-Brown and Cirrus Logic DAC chips, depending on the model. You must worship at the altar of ASR and Amir, where the numbers from the rig matter more than what your ears hear. I'm not against EQ, but it's not the only answer to changing sound signature.

I'd be weary with this. I've had some previous issues with batteries from iFi. They have zero battery charging circuits on the nano BL and they continuously charge over the USB 5V. My battery almost blew up on me when I noticed the device getting extremely hot over time and the blue charging light wouldn't go off. Turned out my USB output voltage was 5.1V perfectly fine, however the charging circuit was charging the battery up to 4.4V. Brought this to iFi's attention as this is their issue and a major flaw in the product. They even sent me off to my supplier to deal with them instead of iFi themselves. Curious to see if there's any charge controller in this.
@moody28082 жыл бұрын
@Mike Byrne what? You confused me so much. I get the trickle charge thing (which is extremely weird as the charger doesn't really do anything in regards to what it's charging). When you charge anything, the product that's being charged communicates with the charger to send over a certain voltage. That's what happens with all USB quick charging protocols. The trickle charge function you are talking about on Anker power banks is preventing the powerbank itself from turning off automatically for extremely small devices like earbuds that charge below the auto shutdown value of 100ma. It does nothing to prevent a battery from getting overcharged due to zero charging circuitry being built into said device. If the powerbank is giving of 5.1v to the ifi nano BL, it will continue to charge the battery to 4.4v regardless of whether or not you're using trickle charge mode.
@moody28082 жыл бұрын
@Mike Byrne that's not really the issue. The issue is lack of ANY form of BMS. It shouldn't matter what USB connection you're using.

Again the sound was absolutely fine, but the fact they refused to comment on such a big issue is laughable.

@@tonybowen455 they sound pretty similar to me. The go blu has a wider sound stage option as well as the bass boost which does seem to make a little difference in some music. I’m still new to this so can’t really articulate my thoughts. I haven’t plugged my phone into the zen dac since I’ve gotten the blu if that says anything. Still have the zen dac for my pc audio though.

I heard that ifi go blu has higher noise floor than other bluetooth dac. I have Shanling UP5 which has lower noise floor compared to any of my dac amps (xd05 basic / hip dac / zen dac / zen can etc). So I hope Zeos could do a comparison including the Shanling UP5 (But make sure the firmware is updated to 1.6.0)

I have the original btr5, the silver one with the even crapper Bluetooth coverage than the newer black one. After 2 years I have decided I will no linger out up with it and must replace it for the go blu, it has xbass enough said.
FYI: I did contact iFi regarding the lack of a clip & they told me that something would be available as an accessory at a later date.
