Description
Balanced Bliss
The GO link Max provides concert-like realism and immersion, with obvious positioning of instruments and vocals. Its dual DAC, balanced setup guarantees incredible separation between the left and right headphone channels – measuring >118dB.
The Cheat Code for Clarity
We’ve unlocked hidden technology that minimises total harmonic distortion (THD), ensuring cleaner, purer sound. By adjusting a correction factor inside the DAC chips, this rarely used feature reduces the 2nd and 3rd harmonics, lowering distortion by 2.7 times compared to the original GO link.
Dramatically Dynamic
The GO link brings music to life with exciting highs and deep lows, making every moment more intense and engaging. We’ve hacked the DAC chips to unlock Dynamic Range Enhancement (DRE), giving +6dB additional range between the loudest and quietest moments.
Crystal Clarity
The DAC chipsets used for conversion inside the GO link Max benefit from “Quad DAC+” and “Time Domain Jitter Eliminator” technologies. When combined with iFi’s dedicated GMT clock circuitry using a specialised crystal oscillator, this ensures ultra-low distortion, excellent clarity and impressive musical timing.
Do The Twist
GO link Max features a silver-plated copper cable with individual polymer insulation, in a “twisted pair” design. This setup reduces inductance and capacitance - and aids with noise rejection. Unlike typical audio cables, the GO link Max isn’t affected by interference from nearby electrical sources.
Accurate Adjustment
Unlike its competitors, the GO link Max uses hardware-based volume control, allowing you to adjust the volume without reducing quality. Adjusting volume by software reduces volume by decreasing data sent to the DAC, stripping away all the details you’ve been searching for.
