Key Features
Hi-Res True Native® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.
iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced® circuit delivers maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike.
In music production, dynamic range means the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds. It’s measured in decibels, or dB for short. You can think of the dynamic range in a system as the space between the noise floor and the clipping point. iFi’s proprietary technology extends the Dynamic Range by 6 dB or more, for an improved listening experience.
Extensive jitter-eradication technologies are applied to the digital stage, including our GMT (Global Master Timing) femto-precision clock and intelligent memory buffer. This represents a total ‘out-of-the-box’ systematic digital solution that solves jitter once and for all.
The missing link
The GO link bridges the gap in your listening experience by connecting corded headphones and earphones to digital devices without a 3.5mm output. Even if a headphone socket is available, the GO link provides a major audio upgrade with its advanced DAC and headphone amp, surpassing the built-in audio of most smart devices and computers. Elevate your sound with the GO link.
Flexible friend
The GO link features a USB-C connector on one end and and at the other is the DAC and headphone amp circuitry, both encased in durable, lightweight magnesium alloy. A 6cm flexible cable in between allows for practical use, angling the DAC/amp toward the listener and minimizing strain on the connected USB port.
Do the twist
The GO link cable features silver-plated copper conductors, each with polymer insulation in a twisted pair design. This setup optimizes inductance, capacitance, and reduces noise interference from nearby electronics, ensuring clear, undistorted sound for an uninterrupted listening experience.
Move with the music
The GO link doesn’t rely on the software-based volume controls in connected digital devices. This can adversely affect audio resolution. Instead, adjusting the volume on the connected device controls the volume level in the GO link’s DAC. This hardware-based control ensures superior sound performance, unaffected by the limitations of your device's software.
Hi-res in glorious colour
The GO link’s hi-res audio credentials are highly impressive given its diminutive size and price tag.
- PCM to 32-bit/384kHz
- DSD to 11.2MHz (DSD256)
- MQA
An LED changes colour to indicate the incoming audio format – PCM, DSD or MQA – and the PCM/DSD sample rate.
Headphone heaven
The GO link’s headphone amp feeds a gold-plated 3.5mm socket, incorporating our S-Balanced configuration to reduce noise and crosstalk.
With 70mW of power into 32 ohms and 2.05V into 600 ohms, the GO link provides ample power to drive most headphones and earphones, surpassing the audio output quality of typical smart devices and computers.
The GO link has the iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced® circuit to deliver maximum performance
At the heart of the GO link lies a power-efficient, high-performance DAC chip from ESS Technology’s Sabre HiFi series – the ES9219MQ/Q
