Ifi Go Link 2 Max

iFi GO link Max Portable USB DAC & Headphone Amplifier

The iFi GO link Max is a compact, high-performance USB-C DAC and headphone amplifier designed to bring high-resolution audio and powerful headphone driving capability to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible devices.

At its heart are dual ESS Sabre ES9219 DAC chips, configured in a balanced architecture to improve channel separation, reduce noise, and deliver a clean, detailed listening experience. It supports PCM up to 384kHz and native DSD256, making it suitable for high-resolution music collections.

Despite weighing just 14.5g, the GO link Max delivers up to 241mW into 32Ω through its 4.4mm balanced output, giving it substantially more power than typical smartphone or computer headphone outputs. It also includes a 3.5mm S-Balanced output capable of up to 100mW into 32Ω.

The GO link Max features both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm S-Balanced headphone connections, along with hardware-based volume control and iFi's Dynamic Range Enhancement technology. Its ultra-compact 150 × 15 × 10mm design makes it an ideal portable upgrade for anyone looking to get significantly better performance from wired headphones or IEMs.
