iFi Audio Go Link Max ES9219 Sabre USB Portable DAC / Amplifier

Pocket PowerhouseWhen it comes to listening with headphones, modern portable devices such as smartphones are riddled with compromise. Many don’t have a headphone socket at all, and even the best adapters are severely limited in their output volume.With the GO link Max, you can take the power back with up to 241mW of output, which is around 5 times more power than the headphone socket of a MacBook Pro.Bringing the BalanceThe GO link Max is our smallest and most portable balanced DAC yet.
The GO link Max’s balanced circuitry extends the interference elimination technology typically found in balanced audio cables, to the entire audio system.Our proprietary S-Balanced technology brings this same advantage to the 3.5mm port, providing a superior single-ended experience exclusive to iFi. Every listener, regardless of their headphone choice.Little DAC, Big HeartAt the beating heart of this pocket rocket lies a pair of the renowned ESS ES9219 Sabre DAC chips. With a DAC chip dedicated to each channel, each instrument is clearly separated and defined. Shut your eyes and you will feel the band playing on stage in front of you, with each musician precisely positioned.Dynamic DelightThe Sabre DAC’s Dynamic Range Enhancement (DRE) allows for greater contrast between the loudest and quietest sound. Every crescendo rings louder and every intimate moment of quiet sits more peacefully, filling your listening sessions with the life, energy and immersion your music deserves.Specification:Input: USB-CHeadphone Output: 3.5mm (Single-Ended) & 4.4mm (Balanced)Microphone Pass-Through: Not SupportedHi-res Support: PCM 384kHz; DSD256 (11.3MHz)DAC: ESS Sabre ES9219Output Power (RMS): Balanced: 241mW @ 32Ω; 4V @ 300ΩSingle-Ended: 100mW @ 32Ω; 2V @ 300ΩOutput Impedance: Balanced: 0.7Ω & Single-Ended: 0.35ΩWhats In The Box:1. iFi Audio GO Link Max2.
