Genelec 8380A SAM™ Main Monitor

Building upon the success of the award-winning GO pod, iFi audio has unveiled the new flagship—the GO pod Max. Designed for true audiophiles and IEM enthusiasts who refuse to settle, this device sets a new standard for premium wireless audio. Combining cutting-edge technology with sleek craftsmanship, the GO pod Max promises an unparalleled listening experience without the constraints of cables.

A Fusion of Premium Design and Advanced Technology

Encased in precision-machined aluminium, the GO pod Max exudes sophistication and durability. Its innovative design integrates lossless Bluetooth connectivity, K2HD Technology, and built-in UV sterilisation, creating a product that is as functional as it is luxurious.

Key Features of the iFi GO Pod Max

  • aptX Lossless: Enjoy CD-quality music wirelessly with zero data loss, ensuring pristine sound reproduction.
  • K2HD Technology: Enhances audio resolution to nearly match master recordings, restoring harmonic richness and depth.
  • UV Case Lights: Four internal UV lights sanitise your IEMs after each use, maintaining hygiene and freshness.
  • Hi-Fi Circuitry: Separate Bluetooth, DAC, and amplifier stages deliver superior audio clarity.
  • Auto-Impedance Matching: The device automatically adjusts output to suit your IEM’s impedance, supporting levels from 16Ω to 300Ω.
  • Built-in Microphones: Equipped with echo cancellation and noise suppression for crystal-clear calls.
  • Extended Playtime: Up to 35 hours total 7 hours on a single charge plus 28 hours from the charging case.
  • Water Resistance: IPX5-rated, resistant to rain and sweat, ideal for outdoor use and workouts.

Breaking the Bluetooth Barrier

Traditional Bluetooth codecs often compromise sound quality due to compression. iFi challenges this notion by integrating a flagship Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset capable of supporting aptX Lossless—delivering CD-quality audio at a maximum bitrate of approximately 1,200 kbps. This bandwidth quadruples that of standard codecs, allowing for detailed, clear, and realistic sound wirelessly.

For devices that lack native lossless support, the GO pod Max also supports LDAC and aptX Adaptive codecs, giving users flexibility and compatibility across a broad range of sources.

Restoring the Magic with K2HD Technology

While CD-quality audio represents a standard benchmark, many recordings are captured at higher resolutions, with valuable harmonics and nuances lost during compression. To address this, iFi partnered with JVCKENWOOD to embed K2HD Technology into the GO pod Max. This technology interpolates the missing high-frequency data, restoring audio resolution to 96kHz when enabled, and reintroduces the richness and warmth of the original performance.

Design and Build

The charging case complements the sleek aesthetic of the GO pod Max, crafted from the same premium aluminium. Its expanded interior comfortably fits larger IEMs, while four high-intensity UV lights sanitise earphones between uses, ensuring hygiene and freshness.

Uncompromising Audio Architecture

The GO pod Max’s internal architecture is inspired by Hi-Fi standards. Instead of relying on a single chip for all functions, it separates connection, conversion, and amplification stages:

  • Bluetooth Reception: Managed by the Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset.
  • Digital-to-Analog Conversion: Handled by a Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC, selected for its dynamic performance and efficiency.
  • Amplification: Delivered through a fully balanced stage, supported by a dedicated clock system, ensuring timing accuracy and superior sound quality.

Universal Compatibility and Customisation

iFi prioritises user flexibility with interchangeable ear loops—now redesigned for comfort and support for standard 2-pin and MMCX connectors. Additional ear loop options like T2, Pentaconn Ear, and A2DC cater to users with specialised IEMs.

The device’s Auto Impedance Matching technology detects your IEM’s impedance and adjusts output accordingly, supporting a wide range from 16Ω to 300Ω, ensuring optimal performance across various models.

Designed for Productivity and Lifestyle

Beyond audio quality, the GO pod Max is built for multitasking. Touch controls allow easy management of music, calls, and voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant. Dual microphones with Qualcomm’s cVc technology enable clear calls even in noisy environments.

Its IPX5 water resistance rating makes it suitable for workouts, outdoor activities, and unpredictable weather conditions.

Power and Convenience

With up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge and a total of 35 hours with the charging case, the GO pod Max keeps pace with your busy day. Support for Qi wireless charging and USB-C ensures effortless recharging, whether at home or on the go.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
