Ifi - Portable - Go Link 2 - USB-C Dongle DAC & Headphone Amplifier
Better Sound, Made Simple.
Smartphones and laptops need to perform as many tasks as possible on a strict budget, meaning they aren’t designed for great sound. With audio often left as an afterthought, these devices are built to be ‘good enough’ for basic music playback. With Lossless and Hi-Res music more available than ever, there’s a growing expectation for better quality than what phone and laptop manufacturers provide. The GO link 2 breaks this barrier, bypassing the internals of your device and transforming it into a high-resolution music player.
Hi-Res Unlocked.
At the heart of the GO link 2 is an award-winning ESS Sabre DAC chipset. Offering incredible performance in a compact, power-efficient package, it’s the perfect choice to enhance your on-the-go listening. With Spotify finally bringing Lossless audio to their listeners, and services like Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz and more bringing up to 192kHz Hi-Res audio to the masses, the GO link 2 can bring the best out of it all. With Hi-Res support up to PCM 384kHz and DSD256, the GO link 2 goes beyond streaming and readies you for building a Hi-Res music library of your own.
Dramatically Dynamic.
Without wide dynamic range, standard audio from phones and laptops can sound flat and uninteresting, with little to distinguish moments of calm or intensity. The GO link 2 brings your music to life like never before - we’ve hacked the already impressive DAC chip to unlock Dynamic Range Enhancement. The result is a greater distinction between moody moments of quiet and soaring crescendos, energising your music so you can fall in love with it all over again.
Distortion, Defeated.
At high levels, harmonic distortion can result in a harsh or muddy listening experience that no longer represents the original audio. The GO link 2 includes enhancements unlocked within the DAC chipset to minimise harmonic distortion for a cleaner, purer sound. By adjusting how the DAC chip corrects for these factors, distortion has been reduced by up to 62% compared to the original GO link.
