iFi Audio GO Link 2 Portable Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier & USB-C DAC
The iFi Audio GO Link 2 is a compact plug-and-play USB-C DAC and headphone amplifier designed to dramatically improve the sound quality of smartphones, laptops and PCs. By bypassing the basic internal audio circuitry found in most devices, it delivers high-resolution playback in an ultra-lightweight 7.8g form factor that is smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Simply connect it and transform everyday listening into a far more detailed and dynamic experience.
At its core is an ESS Sabre DAC enhanced with Dynamic Range Enhancement, unlocking an additional +6dB of range for greater impact between quiet and loud passages. Total harmonic distortion is significantly reduced, resulting in a cleaner and more transparent sound. iFi’s proprietary S-Balanced technology brings many of the benefits of balanced audio to a standard 3.5mm output, reducing crosstalk and improving channel separation even with traditional single-ended headphones.
With support for PCM up to 384kHz and DSD256, the GO Link 2 ensures your streaming services and hi-res files are reproduced with clarity and precision. Compatibility with the iFi Nexis app enables over-the-air firmware updates and real-time filter selection, allowing you to switch between hybrid and linear digital filters to tailor the sound to your preference. Compact, powerful and easy to use, the GO Link 2 is an effortless upgrade for portable high-fidelity listening.
Here is what iFi say about the Go Link 2
The GO link 2 is a compact, plug-and-play USB dongle DAC that effortlessly transforms your smartphone, laptop, or PC into a high-resolution music player. By bypassing the inferior internal audio components of standard devices, it delivers studio-quality sound in a body that is 29% lighter and 8% smaller than the original. It provides an instant upgrade for any music lover seeking better sound without the complexity of extra cables or bulky equipment.
At the heart of this portable powerhouse is an ESS Sabre DAC chip that has been specially "hacked" to unlock Dynamic Range Enhancement, adding an extra +6dB of range for more intense highs and deeper lows. Further technical refinements reduce total harmonic distortion by up to 62%, ensuring a purer, cleaner audio signal. It also features iFi’s proprietary S-Balanced circuitry, which halves headphone crosstalk and interference to provide a balanced performance through a standard 3.5mm connection.
Beyond its physical portability, the GO link 2 introduces full compatibility with the iFi Nexis app, allowing for over-the-air firmware updates and real-time customisation. Users can choose between hybrid and linear digital filters to fine-tune the sound profile to their personal taste. With support for ultra-high-resolution formats like PCM 384kHz and DSD256, it ensures that your streaming services finally sound as detailed and immersive as the artists intended.
Features:
- Weighs 7.8g making it 29% lighter and 8% smaller for portability
- Supports PCM 384kHz and DSD256 using an ESS Sabre DAC
- Unlocks +6dB dynamic range for more impactful audio performance
- Reduces distortion by 62% for a cleaner and purer signal
- S-Balanced tech halves crosstalk through a standard 3.5mm jack
- iFi Nexis app compatible for over-the-air updates and control
- Hybrid and Linear filters allow real-time sound customisation
- Manufacturer warranty: 12 months
Unrivalled Portability and Design
The GO link 2 sets a new standard for compact audio, weighing a mere 7.8g. By reducing the body size by 8% and weight by 29% over its predecessor, it offers a "barely-there" experience. It is the ultimate companion for travellers and commuters who demand studio-quality sound in a lightweight, pocketable form factor.
Advanced Dynamic Range Enhancement
Mobile devices often flatten the excitement of your music, but the GO link 2 restores its natural energy. Our engineers optimised the chipset to unlock Dynamic Range Enhancement (DRE), adding 6dB of range between the quietest and loudest moments. This ensures every track feels more alive, delivering a dramatically more engaging listening experience.
Significant Distortion Reduction
Clean audio is at the core of iFi’s engineering, and the GO link 2 reduces total harmonic distortion by 62% compared to the original model. By precisely adjusting internal correction factors, we have effectively defeated harmonic interference. This technical leap ensures a purer, more accurate representation of your favourite recordings.
Balanced Performance for Everyone
This device features our proprietary S-Balanced technology, bringing balanced audio benefits to a standard 3.5mm jack. By providing dedicated negative wiring for each channel, it halves crosstalk and signal interference. This guarantees maximum clarity and superior channel separation, even when using traditional single-ended headphones.
Next-Gen Control with iFi Nexis
The GO link 2 is the first in its range to offer full iFi Nexis app compatibility. This allows for effortless over-the-air firmware updates via Android without needing a computer. The app also unlocks real-time customisation, enabling you to toggle between hybrid and linear digital filters to perfectly match your sonic preferences.
High-Resolution Precision
Under the hood, an ESS Sabre DAC works alongside iFi’s Global Master Timing clock circuitry to eliminate jitter. This specialised crystal oscillator ensures impressive musical timing and ultra-low distortion. Supporting PCM 384kHz and DSD256, this tiny DAC provides the bit-perfect precision needed to unlock the full potential of hi-res streaming.
