iFi GO Link
Portable USB DAC and amp for wired headphone listening
The GO link is a compact, high-resolution DAC and headphone amp that upgrades the sound from your phone, tablet, or laptop. Built around an ESS Sabre DAC with native support for PCM, DSD, and MQA, it delivers clean, low-noise audio with real detail and drive.
Clean Digital-to-Analog Conversion
At its core sits the ESS ES9219 Sabre DAC with 32‑bit HyperStream III architecture, offering Quad‑DAC+ and jitter-eliminating circuitry. This setup translates digital signal into rich analog sound with minimal distortion, helping you catch subtle textures in vocals and instruments.
Native Hi‑Res Playback
iFi Go Link supports sample-perfect playback of PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD256, and MQA material. Without applying DSP, the GO link faithfully preserves audio nuance and timing just as it was recorded.
Improved Output Power
iFi Go Link delivers 70 mW into 32 Ω and 2.05 V into 300 Ω, exceeding typical phone or laptop headphone drives. That means clearer, more controlled sound even on demanding headphones.
Noise‑Resistant Cable Design
A short (~6 cm) silver-plated, twisted-pair cable minimizes interference and avoids stress on your device’s USB-C port. The separate DAC/amp housing makes it easy to angle toward your ears for convenience.
Hardware-Based Volume Control
Volume is managed in the analog stage within the DAC rather than digitally. This preserves full audio detail and dynamic range even at lower levels.
