About the iFi Go Link 2
From our tech experts at CEN
The iFi GO link 2 is an ultra-portable USB-C dongle DAC with a 3.5mm S-Balanced headphone output. It supports PCM up to 384kHz and DSD256 via an ESS Bit-Perfect DAC, and draws power from your phone, laptop or PC with no batteries or setup needed. It weighs 7.8g.
Who it suits
This suits anyone wanting a genuine hi-res source for wired headphones without carrying extra equipment. Smartphone and laptop users who find their built-in headphone output limiting will notice a clear improvement. The compact size and plug-and-play operation make it well suited to commuting or travel.
Our tech experts advise
Check your phone or tablet supports USB audio output before buying — not all devices do. The included USB-C to USB-A adapter adds compatibility with older laptops and desktops. A 0.4 ohm output impedance suits sensitive in-ear monitors well. For a 4.4mm balanced output option, see the GO link 2 Max.
