iFi GO Link Max USB-C DAC Dongle with 3.5mm & 4.4mm
Experience your music with a whole new level of depth and clarity through the GO Link Max. This ultra-portable DAC is designed to deliver clear, immersive sound for both casual listeners and audiophiles, transforming every track with an engaging dynamic range and allowing you to rediscover each note with unmatched fidelity.
Big Sound in a Small Package
Though compact, the GO Link Max packs a powerful punch with up to 241mW of output – nearly five times that of a standard MacBook Pro.* It drives even the most demanding headphones with ease, making your music sound louder, richer, and more impactful no matter where you are.
*Comparison calculated at 32 ohms RMS based on MacBook Pro’s specified headphone output.
Dual DAC Precision for Superior Clarity
The GO Link Max’s advanced balanced circuitry and dual ES9219 DACs achieve superb left-right channel separation (>118dB), providing a detailed, natural stereo experience. This precise balance brings instruments and vocals into sharp focus, creating the feeling of a live performance. Its 4.4mm balanced headphone output minimizes noise and interference, delivering a smooth, distortion-free sound with emotional depth.
Enhanced Sound Quality and Reduced Distortion
THD Compensation technology is built in to minimize harmonic distortion, while Dynamic Range Enhancement (DRE) expands the range between the softest and loudest notes. This blend of technology makes each listening experience immersive and thrilling, highlighting every detail in your music.
Quad DAC+ and Jitter Elimination: Impeccable Sound
With a Quad DAC+ design and jitter elimination, the GO Link Max minimizes digital noise, creating pure, pristine sound with outstanding clarity. The silver-plated copper cable and noise-rejecting helix design ensure an uninterrupted, clear audio experience even in busy environments.
Volume Control Without Compromise
Unlike typical devices, the GO Link Max uses a hardware-based volume control that preserves audio detail across volume adjustments, ensuring consistent sound quality.
Key Features
241mW Output Power: High output for louder, clearer sound, even with demanding headphones. Balanced 4.4mm Output: Advanced balanced circuitry for reduced noise and better audio separation, with precise instrument and vocal positioning. THD Compensation: Minimizes distortion for cleaner, purer audio. Dual DACs with Jitter Reduction: Delivers precise sound and incredible clarity by reducing timing errors. Dynamic Range Enhancement: Expands the dynamic range by +6dB, adding depth, excitement, and emotional impact to your music. Hi-Res Audio Format Support: Compatible with PCM 384kHz and DSD256 for high-fidelity audio, capturing every nuance of your favorite tracks.
