GO link 2
Better Sound, Made Simp.
Smartphones and laptops need to perform as many tasks as possible on a strict budget, meaning they aren’t designed for great sound. Audio is often left as an afterthought; these devices are built to be ‘good enough’ for basic music playback. Some don't even have a 3.5mm headphone jack at all.
With Lossless and Hi-Res music more available than ever, there’s a growing expectation for better quality than what phone and laptop manufacturers provide. The GO link 2 breaks this barrier, bypassing the internals of your device and transforming it into a high-resolution music player.
Its sophisticated DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) and headphone amplifier circuitry are superior to the audio tech contained within smart devices and computers.

Hi-Res Unlocked.
At the heart of the GO link 2 is an award-winning ESS Sabre DAC chipset. Offering incredible performance in a compact, power-efficient package, it’s the perfect choice to enhance your on-the-go listening.
With Spotify finally bringing Lossless audio to their listeners, and services like Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz and more bringing up to 192kHz Hi-Res audio to the masses, the GO link 2 can bring the best out of it all. Featuring Hi-Res support up to PCM 384kHz and DSD256, the GO link 2 goes beyond streaming and readies you for building a Hi-Res music library of your own.
Small Size. Big Statement.
With the GO link already famed for its compact size and feather-light weight, we challenged ourselves to take this standout portability even further. Hitting the scales at 8% smaller and an impressive 29% lighter than its predecessor, the GO link 2 takes the crown as our smallest and lightest DAC ever.
Powered by Nexis.
The GO link 2 is the first model in the GO link range to include compatibility with the iFi Nexis app for Android devices.
Firmware updates can be completed over-the-air in moments, without the need for downloaded files or desktop computers. In addition, iFi Nexis compatibility opens the door to new customisation options. The GO link 2 offers two digital filters — hybrid and linear — allowing users to fine-tune the sound profile to their tastes.
Dramatically Dynamic.
Without wide dynamic range, standard audio from phones and laptops can sound flat and uninteresting, with little to distinguish moments of calm or intensity.
The GO link 2 brings your music to life like never before, as we’ve modified the already impressive DAC chip to unlock Dynamic Range Enhancement. The result is a greater distinction between moody moments of quiet and soaring crescendos, energising your music so you can fall in love with it all over again.
Distortion, Defeated.
At high levels, harmonic distortion can result in a harsh or muddy listening experience that no longer represents the original audio. The GO link 2 includes enhancements unlocked within the DAC chipset to minimise harmonic distortion for a cleaner, purer sound. By adjusting how the DAC chip corrects for these factors, distortion has been reduced by up to 62% compared to the original GO link.
S-Balanced
Truly balanced audio circuitry reduces signal noise and crosstalk, but isn’t available with single-ended headphones using a 3.5mm connection. But we get closer. The GO link 2 is the latest device to incorporate our proprietary S-Balanced technology. By applying balanced circuitry principles to a single-ended headphone output, crosstalk between headphone channels is cut in half, for maximum performance and minimum interference.
