iFi GO link 2 Hi-Res USB-C Dongle DAC & Headphone Amp

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.

Small Size. Big Statement.
With the GO link already famed for its compact size and feather-light weight, we challenged ourselves to take this standout feature even further. Hitting the scales at 8% smaller and an impressive 29% lighter than its predecessor, the GO link 2 takes the crown as our smallest and lightest DAC ever.

Powered by Nexis.
The GO link 2 is the first model in the GO link range to include full compatibility with the iFi Nexis app.

Firmware updates can be completed over-the-air in moments, without the need for downloaded files or desktop computers.

In addition, iFi Nexis compatibility opens the door to new customisation options. The GO link 2 offers two digital filters - hybrid and linear - allowing users to fine-tune the sound profile to their tastes.

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At high levels, harmonic distortion can result in a harsh or muddy listening experience that no longer represents the original audio.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.
