The iFi GO bar sets a new standard for ultraportable USB DAC/headphone amps, ensuring your headphones deliver heavenly sound quality wherever you are. Whether you're commuting, working remotely, or simply on the move, this ultraportable device elevates your music experience to new heights.
Perfectly Portable
Connect the iFi GO bar to your laptop, MacBook, tablet, smartphone, or any digital device with a USB port, and immerse yourself in sensational sound quality. It's your ideal companion at home, in the office, or while traveling. Plus, enjoy the convenience of included accessories: a leather travel case, Lightning to USB-C cable, USB-C OTG cable, and USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Precision Engineering for Exceptional Sound
The heart of the GO bar lies in its DAC section, powered by a robust 16-core XMOS microcontroller that processes audio data from the USB input. Our in-house team has fine-tuned the XMOS firmware to optimize sound quality, ensuring seamless compatibility with the GO bar's 32-bit Cirrus Logic DAC chipset. A custom digital filter minimizes pre-echoes and ringing artifacts, while our GMT (Global Master Timing) precision clock system minimizes jitter.
Unmatched Audio Capabilities
Experience audio like never before with support for ultra-res PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz via USB, native playback up to DSD256, and even 2x DXD. The GO bar doesn't compromise on quality, offering full MQA decoding for the most authentic sound reproduction.
Tailor Your Sound
Choose from four bespoke digital filtering options to suit your preferences: Bit Perfect, Standard, Minimum Phase, or Gibbs Transient Optimized. Additionally, the GO bar offers two analog processing modes: XBass+ for enhanced bass response and XSpace for a holographic sound field, creating a live concert-like experience.
Elegance Meets Functionality
The GO bar's smart alloy case features physical buttons for precise volume control and sonic tuning options. Colored LEDs indicate the format and sample rate of the playing audio, as well as the status of XBass+ and XSpace features. With asynchronous USB-C input and two headphone outputs (4.4mm fully balanced and 3.5mm S-Balanced), versatility is at your fingertips.
Balanced Design, Unmatched Performance
Despite its compact size, the GO bar boasts a balanced circuit design with a symmetrical twin-channel output stage. This design significantly reduces noise and crosstalk in the signal path, usually found in larger and pricier amplifiers. High-quality discrete components and meticulous power supply filtering further minimize signal noise.
Power and Precision
Don't be fooled by its size. The GO bar delivers:
- 475mW max. into 32 ohms
- 7.5V max. into 600 ohms
It can handle a wide range of headphones and incorporates two power tuning technologies: iEMatch for high-sensitivity headphones and Turbo for power-hungry ones. Please note that it may not work with iPhones up to 6S when the phone battery is low.
Limited Edition Excellence
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we present the 10th Anniversary Limited Edition GO bar. Limited to 1000 pieces, it boasts a luxurious gold-plated exterior, a copper chassis for enhanced build quality and shielding, enhanced power supply filtering, and a weight of 64g—40g more than the original.
