ifi GO Link Portable Headphone DAC

Increase your sound quality through headphones from smart phones and computers with this cost effective solution from our friends at ifi. 

It will enable corded headphones and earphones to connect to digital devices that don’t have a 3.5mm headphone output.

Secondly, even if your device does have a headphone socket, the GO link 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.

At one end of the GO link 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 – this aids practicality, allowing the DAC/amp section to be angled towards the listener and reducing stress on the USB port to which the GO link is connected.

The GO link’s hi-res audio credentials are highly impressive given its diminutive size and price tag.

An LED changes colour to indicate the incoming audio format – PCM, DSD or MQA – and the PCM/DSD sample rate.
