iFi IF0312031 GO link 2 Max Portable USB DAC & Headphone Amplifier Review
The iFi IF0312031 is designed for anyone who wants better sound from a USB device without carrying bulky equipment. Small enough to fit in your pocket yet packed with premium audio technology, the GO link 2 Max transforms everyday headphone listening into a richer and more detailed experience. Whether you're streaming high-resolution music or simply enjoying your favorite playlist, this compact DAC makes every note feel more refined.
Dual ESS DAC Technology for High-Resolution Audio
The iFi IF0312031 features dual ESS Sabre DAC chips configured in a balanced circuit, providing the foundation for exceptional high-resolution audio. Think of it as having two skilled musicians working together instead of one. As a result, your music benefits from improved accuracy and separation.
Support for PCM up to 384kHz and DSD256 lets you enjoy Hi-Res audio with exceptional clarity. In addition, Bit-Perfect DSD and DXD processing help preserve the original character of every recording for a more natural listening experience.
Balanced Outputs Deliver More Power
The iFi IF0312031 offers both a balanced 4.4mm output and an S-Balanced 3.5mm output, giving you flexibility for different headphones. The balanced connection delivers up to 241mW at 32 ohms and 4V at 300 ohms, providing the power needed for demanding headphones.
Meanwhile, the S-Balanced output reduces crosstalk by half, helping create a cleaner stereo image with better channel separation.
Cleaner Sound with Greater Dynamics
Music should sound alive, not flat. The iFi IF0312031 includes Dynamic Range Enhancement, which adds up to 6dB of extra dynamics for greater impact between quiet and loud passages. As a result, every track feels more expressive and engaging.
At the same time, distortion has been reduced by more than 50% compared to the previous generation. With THD+N as low as 0.0007% on the balanced output, your music remains clean and highly detailed.
Customize Your Listening Experience
Everyone hears music a little differently. Fortunately, the iFi IF0312031 supports customizable digital filters through the iFi Nexis mobile app on Android devices. This gives you the freedom to fine-tune playback to match your listening preferences.
Silver-plated twisted copper conductors also help maintain signal purity from your USB source to your headphones.
Compact Design Built for Everyday Use
Despite its powerful performance, the iFi IF0312031 weighs only 11.5 grams and is more than 20% lighter than the previous generation. Measuring just 143 x 15 x 9.4mm, it slips easily into your pocket, laptop bag, or travel case.
Power consumption remains efficient as well, using approximately 0.6W with no signal and up to 3.2W at maximum signal.
