iFi Audio Go Link USB-C DAC Dongle - Clearance / Open Box
The headphone dongle linking you with your music
Superior sound with a twist
The missing link
TheĀ GO linkĀ is the missing link in your listening experience.
Firstly, it will enable corded headphones and earphones to connect to digital devices that donāt have a 3.5mm headphone output.
Secondly, even if your device does have a headphone socket, theĀ GO linkĀ delivers a big sonic upgrade. This is because its sophisticated DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) and headphone amp circuitry are superior to the audio tech contained within smart devices and computers.
Go forward withĀ GO link.
Flexible friend
At one end of theĀ GO linkĀ is a USB-C connector, and at the other is the DAC and headphone amp circuitry, both housed in robust yet lightweight magnesium alloy enclosures.
In between is a 6cm length of flexible cable āĀ this aids practicality, allowing the DAC/amp section to be angled towards the listener and reducing stress on the USB port to which theĀ GO linkĀ is connected.
DACās the ticket
At the heart of theĀ GO linkĀ lies a power-efficient, high-performance DAC chip from ESS Technologyās Sabre HiFi series ā the ES9219MQ/Q ā benefiting from 32-bit HyperStream III architecture.
This combines with Quad DAC+ and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technologies, plus our dedicated clock circuitry utilising a specialised crystal oscillator, to deliver ultra-low distortion, excellent clarity and impressive dynamic range.
Rarely implemented high-end features such as adjustable analogue gainĀ withĀ DRE (Dynamic Range Enhancement)Ā plus technologies to minimise THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and crosstalk are possible due to the DAC chipās advanced specification.
It is also possible to choose between a choice of digital filters via downloadable software.
Do the twist
The cable linking both sections together uses silver-plated copper conductors with individual polymer insulation in a ātwisted pairā configuration.
This rotational twist helps to optimise inductance and capacitance and also aids noise rejection. TheĀ GO linkās sound isnāt affected by electromagnetic interference picked up from nearby electrical sources.
No distortion means youāre ready to dance without disturbance.
Move with the music
Unlike other headphone dongles, theĀ GO linkĀ doesnāt 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 theĀ GO linkās DAC, not in the phone, tablet or computer. This hardware-based volume control is another feature that helps to deliver theĀ GO linkās superior sonic performance.
Hi-res in glorious colour
TheĀ GO linkās hi-res audio credentials are highly impressive given its diminutive size and price tag.
- PCMĀ to 32-bit/384kHz
- DSD to 11.2MHz (DSD256)
- MQA
An LED changes colour to indicate the incoming audio format ā PCM, DSD or MQA ā and the PCM/DSD sample rate.
Headphone heaven
TheĀ GO linkās headphone amp feeds a gold-plated 3.5mm socket, incorporating ourĀ S-BalancedĀ configuration to reduce noise and crosstalk.
It delivers a power output of 70mW into 32 ohms, and a maximum voltage output of 2.05V into 600 ohms. This gives it plenty of oomph to drive the kind of headphones and earphones likely to be used with theĀ GO linkĀ and easily outclasses the headphone outputs built into smart devices and computers.
