Go Bar Kensei
Despite their pristine clarity, digital recordings sometimes seem emotionally flat and lifeless.
Engineers at the prestigious Victor Studio, troubled by the discernible lack of emotion between their original masters and digital sub-masters, embarked on a quest for a solution.
They meticulously compared countless finished recordings with the copy recordings by ear, relying on their instinctive feel and their human expertise.
Their solution; K2 Technology*.
The K2 Technology process revives rich, natural harmonics into the sterile, detached digital sound, adding an organic quality unlike any other.
K2 Technology processing revitalises the studio recording sound, infusing it with life once again.
Bit-Perfect: Delivers natural tones, ideal for all genres.
GTO: Enhances sound details and density, particularly suited for Vocal tracks.
Minimum Phase: Produces a warmer sound, blending characteristics of Bit-Perfect and Standard, perfect for Soul and Jazz.
Standard: Offers a tighter sound with controlled highs, perfect for Pop music and Movie OST.
Experience chest-thumping bass with XBass+ and immerse yourself in a spacious sound field with XSpace.

Go Pod
$ 3,199
Wearable HD Bluetooth DAC and headphone amp
Qualcomm’s 24-bit aptX Adaptive format is also covered, offering sample rates of up to 96kHz, with the additional benefit of QHS (Qualcomm High Speed) providing an extra 300kbps of bandwidth. Other supported codecs include regular aptX, AAC and SBC.
This means that every possible source device is handled at the highest audio resolution its Bluetooth specification allows.
The standard GO pod package contains the 0.78mm 2pin and MMCX connectors.
Pentaconn, T2 and A2DC connectors are available separately.

Go Bar
$ 2,599
Premium USB DAC. World’s most powerful headphone amp of its size.
The DAC section of the GO bar uses a powerful 16-core XMOS micro controller to process the audio data received at the USB input. Our in-house team has programmed the XMOS firmware to optimise sound quality and ensure a perfect partnership with the GO bar‘s 32-bit Cirrus Logic DAC chipset.
A customised digital filter minimises pre-echoes and ringing artefacts. Our GMT (Global Master Timing) precision clock system ensures ultra-low jitter.
Ultra-res PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz via USB
Native playback up to DSD256
2x DXD
Full MQA decoding

Go Blu
$ 1,599
HD Bluetooth DAC. Apple Music, Spotify, every song on the GO!
The way iFi implements Bluetooth is anything but ‘run of the mill’ and despite its diminutive size the GO blu is no exception.
The use of Qualcomm’s latest four-core QCC5100 Bluetooth processing chip ensures that every current high-definition Bluetooth audio format is supported.
aptX Adaptive and aptX HD
LDACTM and HWA/LHDC
regular aptX and aptX Low Latency
AAC
SBC (plain vanilla Bluetooth)
This means that every possible source device is handled at the highest audio resolution its Bluetooth specification allows – no other pocket-size DAC/amp delivers such comprehensive codec support, or such high-quality sound over Bluetooth.
The GO blu is Bluetooth v5.1-compliant, ensuring the best possible range, stability and performance, and its ‘Bluetooth engine’ can be updated over the air.

Go Link
$ 499
The headphone dongle linking you with your music
At the heart of the GO link lies a power-efficient, high-performance DAC chip from ESS Technology’s Sabre HiFi series – the ES9219MQ/Q – benefiting from 32-bit HyperStream III architecture.
This combines with Quad DAC+ and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technologies, plus our dedicated clock circuitry utilising a specialised crystal oscillator, to deliver ultra-low
distortion, excellent clarity and impressive dynamic range.
Rarely implemented high-end features such as adjustable analogue gain with DRE (Dynamic Range Enhancement) plus technologies to minimise THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and crosstalk are possible due to the DAC chip’s advanced specification.
