Small. But mighty.

Het DAC-gedeelte van de GO-balk maakt gebruik van een krachtige 16-core XMOS-microcontroller om de audiogegevens te verwerken die via de USB-ingang worden ontvangen. Ons interne team heeft de XMOS-firmware geprogrammeerd om de geluidskwaliteit te optimaliseren en een perfecte samenwerking met de 32-bits Cirrus Logic DAC-chipset van de GO-bar te garanderen.

Een op maat gemaakt digitaal filter minimaliseert pre-echo’s en rinkelende artefacten. Ons GMT (Global Master Timing) precisie kloksysteem zorgt voor een ultralage jitter.

External affairs

The GO bar’s smart alloy case sports physical buttons for precise volume adjustment plus controls to select between various sonic tuning options. A column of coloured LEDs provides a handy guide to the format and sample rate of the digital audio currently playing, and whether XBass+ and/or XSpace are engaged.

At one end is an asynchronous USB-C input and at the other a pair of headphone outputs.

• 4.4mm fully balanced output – headphones with a balanced cable/connector can benefit from the fully balanced circuitry of the GO bar
• 3.5mm S-Balanced output – our S-Balanced tech cuts crosstalk and noise by 50% with regular single-ended headphones.

Purity and power

The amp’s design combines sonic purity with power.

• 475mW into 32 ohms​
• 7.5V into 600 ohms

​No headphone amp of such a diminutive size can match the GO bar’s ability to drive tricky headphone loads or work with a wider variety of headphones.

The GO bar also incorporates two power tuning technologies:

• iEMatch – attenuates power to suit high-sensitivity headphones and IEMs, it removes background noise and increases usable volume range
• Turbo – ramps up the gain by 6dB to satisfy more power-hungry headphones

*Please note that the GO bar may not work with iPhones up to and including 6S when the phone battery is low (<30%).
