iFi Audio Amplifier and DAC Link – GO Max

The Go Link Max utilizes an ESS Sabre DAC with time domain jitter eliminator for hi-res audio up to 32-bit / 384 kHz in PCM384, DSD256, and DXD384 formats. Digital input is simple with the USB-C connection. The GO Link Max supports headphones and in-ear monitors up to 300 ohms through its balanced, gold-plated 4.4mm and unbalanced 3.5mm headphone jacks. These allow you to immerse yourself in powerful, dynamic, and detailed sound from your preferred listening device, no matter where you are. This Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) unlocks the true potential of your playlist, now boasting a 4.4mm headphone output, innovative new features and 10x the power of your iPhone.

Small Size, Big Difference.

Hi-Res audio is now within reach for everyone, with streaming services delivering high-quality sound to a wider audience. The GO link Max is the ultimate portable solution for both newcomers exploring the richness of Hi-Res music and audiophiles seeking simplicity and performance on the go. Featuring a balanced 4.4mm output and award-winning design, it combines plug-and-play ease with exceptional audio quality, making it perfect for any music lover.

Bringing the Balance.

The GO link Max is our smallest, most portable balanced DAC, featuring balanced circuitry that extends interference elimination across the entire audio system. With S-Balanced technology enhancing the 3.5mm port and a balanced 4.4mm output, it delivers crystal-clear detail and channel separation for any headphone while preparing you for future audio upgrades.

Pocket Powerhouse.

Modern portable devices like smartphones often compromise headphone performance, with many lacking a headphone socket or offering limited output via adapters. The GO link Max solves this with up to 241mW of output power—five times that of a MacBook Pro’s headphone jack. This increased power doesn’t just amplify volume; it unlocks your headphones’ full potential, delivering fine detail and definition for an exceptional listening experience.

Dynamic Delight.

The GO link Max uses the Sabre DAC’s Dynamic Range Enhancement (DRE) to deliver greater contrast between the loudest and quietest sounds, enriching every crescendo and quiet moment with energy and immersion.By combining DRE with iFi’s proprietary enhancements, it achieves an additional +6dB of dynamic range. This effectively doubles the perceived difference between highs and lows, ensuring every detail in your music is brought to life

Little DAC, Big Heart.

At the core of the GO link Max are dual ESS ES9219 Sabre DAC chips, each dedicated to a channel. This design delivers exceptional instrument separation and definition, creating a vivid, lifelike soundstage that places every musician with pinpoint precision. We then push performance further by adding some in-house tech of our own, to ensure elimination of jitter and distortion for crystal clarity and refined musicality. Your playlists will captivate you like never before, offering a “just one more song” experience every time.

Gain Control, Lose Nothing.

The GO link Max features a hardware-based volume control that overrides this typical behaviour. When you adjust the volume on your device, the change occurs directly in the DAC chip. This ensures that maximum detail is retained, and you can enjoy the full richness of your Hi-Res music at any volume.
