I'm a fan of the volume knob over the rocker style. The only problem is with a portable and pocketable device I have a tendency for the volume to change dramatically taking it out or putting it in my pocket. At almost twice the price, I'm going to wait until my BTR5 dies.

No mention of the Qudelix 5K (except in the description) bought that shit and it's amazing, way cheaper than the BTR5 and this thing. The app is also SUPER extensive with customization it doesn't even use the internet it seems just pairs to your device and you can change settings on the fly without hiccups. Lasts for 10 hours and as long as you get used to the 2 separate rocker system its very easy to use.

I love them both. Since I’m on an iPhone, I doubt I’d upgrade since I’m only using AAC. I have dedicated systems for at home “serious” listening and a Hip Dac for outside, more-than-just-background listening. Still, Christmas is coming up….hmmmmmmm Great vid Z

I've had a Go Blu for a few weeks and love the thing, it sounds great, like a neutral warm. I have been using a BTR5 for several months and I really like it but I prefer the Go Blu. I rarely used the app on the BTR5 so I don't care that this doesn't have one. Battery runtime is impressive, I got 14 hours of loud play using LDAC yesterday. Range is shorter than BTR5 but, I don't need to have my phone far away from me while I listen to music streamed from it.

So far the iFi is now at the top of my list. Hopefully by then someone will come out with some kind of clip for it. I bought some stickers from Teespring last spring, but haven't looked again lately. Still haven't done anything with them yet, but I have ideas.

"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.

@@AliArghavan That's untrue. Not all DACs are the same. Different DACs have different characteristics due to different design and circuitry. If you listen to a Burr-Brown DAC in most iFi devices and then listen to a device with an ESS Sabre DAC, like the Qudelix, with the same headphones and can't tell the difference in sound signature, then you're not listening closely enough. 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. A DAC can do that, in a more general sense with less fine-tuning than EQ, too.

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 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.

What device do you have that you play your music from that is in the video? I have been looking for a good one but don’t know what to look for & want to make sure that I am getting something that is of good quality but not real real expensive. & a good replacement 3.5 mm audio cable for my audio technica m50xbt2. Thank you for any info anyone can give me.

Question: I have sennheiser 660s and I’d like a USB C DAC AMP with 4.4 and a microphone connection. The reason is has to be USB C is that I can connect it to my iPad Pro for gaming.

@@davidjameswales Every headphone can benefit from EQ. I like to adjust some frequencies just a dB or two to get them right. I mean you can get BTR5 or 5K for less money with many more features. iFi didn't even bother to develop an app for any extra function. So with Go BLU you're forced to buy headphones with exactly the tonal balance you prefer with 0 adjustments.

@@davidjameswales Ohh yeah, just keep buying stuff until you find something that works. And if you happens to leave in a country where you barely can re-sell your stuff, fuck you. Nothing is prefect, if it is, probably cost $3000+, everything else needs some level of EQ.

@@AliArghavan the production of any given song is going to dictate how something sounds more than "a few db here and there". Again, if you don't like the sound of your headphones just sell them. This isn't the 1980's there are literally thousands of genuinely great headphones you won't feel like you have to "fix". Maybe you just like playing with EQ as part of the hobby and that's fine. But pretending all headphones need EQ is from experience far from accurate. Also I 100% agree not having features is stupid, even if I consider EQ up there with MQA personally. At least no one is ruining files on a server with EQ.

@@davidjameswales I suppose the flip side of what you're saying is that as it's not the 80s, why not add something that, by now is fairly trivial to apply? I'm not an EQ fundamentalist, but I do have presets for classical, soundtrack, etc. in particular. Not saying you're wrong, by the way; I actually think you're largely on the right track to be honest, but as the vast majority of products are not available to test in person, your method does rely heavily on the availability of postal returns.

What the fuck happened to remote buttons. We went from usually nothing in the 90s, to EVERYTHING on the remote dongle in the 00's, to now again back to almost nothing. Button taps to control volume, prev/next track, pause, and it rarely fucking works.
