"The iFi GO Link 2 connects to a smartphone or other audio-playing device over USB-C and can instantly improve the listening experience on wired headphones. Wireless earbuds and music streaming services have normalized listening to your favorite songs at a lower quality. Now that several streaming services offer higher sample rates and lossless audio, you might consider other ways of listening."
"iFi's new DAC is eight percent smaller than the previous GO Link and 29 percent lighter, approaching the size of Apple's USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack dongle. The GO Link 2's built-in ESS Sabre DAC chipset is supposed to add 6dB of dynamic range between the loudest and quietest moments and reduce distortion for clearer sound by up to 62 percent when compared to the original GO Link."
"Via iFi's companion Nexis app on Android, the GO Link 2 can also be updated on the go and further customized with digital filters. The GO Link 2 supports two digital filters - one hybrid and one linear - so that you can adjust things to your preferred sound profile."
iFi introduced the GO Link 2, a compact digital-to-analogue converter priced at $59 that connects via USB-C to smartphones and audio devices. The device enables users to experience high-resolution and lossless audio through wired headphones despite modern smartphones lacking 3.5mm jack ports. The GO Link 2 features an ESS Sabre DAC chipset that increases dynamic range by 6dB and reduces distortion by up to 62% compared to the original model. The device is 8% smaller and 29% lighter than its predecessor. Through iFi's Nexis companion app, users can update the device, customize sound with two digital filters (hybrid and linear), and set volume limits for personalized listening experiences.
