FEATURES
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.
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.
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.
