Employs Award-Winning ESS Sabre DAC Architecture For High-Resolution Playback

iFi GO Link 2 is built around an award-winning ESS Sabre DAC chipset that delivers exceptional performance in a compact, power-efficient design. iFi GO Link 2 supports Hi-Res audio up to PCM 384 kHz and DSD256, fully optimising lossless streaming services like with Spotify and services like Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz and personal high-resolution libraries.

Implements Dynamic Range Enhancement For Greater Musical Contrast

iFi GO Link 2 incorporates proprietary enhancements that expand dynamic range beyond standard DAC operation. iFi GO Link 2 creates a clearer distinction between quiet passages and powerful peaks, making music sound more vivid and engaging.

Features DAC Chip From ESS Sabre

The ⚙️ ES9219 is a high-performance 32-bit, 2-channel audio SABRE HiFi® D/A converter with QUAD DAC+™ technology, headphone amplifier, analogue volume control, dynamic range enhancement (DRE) and output switch designed for audiophile-grade portable power-sensitive applications. Using critically acclaimed QUAD DAC+™ technology, patented 32-bit HyperStream III® DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9219 delivers up to 122dB DNR and ≤0.004% (1.27V @ 32Ω), a performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.

Ample Power to Drive Headphones and IEMs

The Go Link’s headphone amp feeds a gold-plated 3.5mm socket, incorporating our S-Balanced 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 power to drive headphones and in-ear monitors likely to be used with the Go Link and easily outclasses the headphone outputs built into smart devices and computers.

Hi-Res Music Playback With MQA Support

The ⚙️ ES9219’s integrated SABRE DAC supports up to 32-bit 384kHz PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), DSD256 (Direct Stream Digital), and MQA (Master Quality Authenticated). The Rarely implemented high-end features like an adjustable analogue gain with DRE (Dynamic Range Enhancement) plus technologies to minimise THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and crosstalk are possible due to the DAC chip’s advanced specification.
