iFi Go Link review: an impressive USB DAC for very little money | What Hi-Fi?

whathifi.com

The iFi Go Link DAC punches above its weight, delivering impressive audio quality for its slim, budget-friendly design. It supports a wide range of high-resolution formats, making it a great value for audiophiles on the move. While the build quality is generally solid, concerns about cable fragility and occasional connection drops may be an issue for some. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Go Link’s ability to enhance music playback significantly justifies its modest price tag, positioning it as a top choice for portable sound enhancement.

iFi Go Link Review: A Solid DAC, But Is It Outclassed? - Home Studio Basics

homestudiobasics.com

The iFi Go Link DAC impresses with its compact size and ease of use, making it a great portable option for music lovers. It offers clean audio quality powered by an ESS chip and can handle less demanding headphones like the Sennheiser HD600 with ease but struggles with more power-hungry models like the AKG K702. While it performs admirably for its price, newer competitors like the Fosi Audio DS2 offer better value, leaving the Go Link slightly outclassed in today’s market. A solid choice for budget-conscious audiophiles who prioritize portability and simplicity over raw power.

Review - iFi Audio Go Link

achoreviews.com

The iFi Audio Go Link impresses as a budget-friendly dongle with its signature "iFi sound," offering a smooth, warm listening experience that doesn't skimp on detail. While not the most powerful, it handles most headphones and IEMs with ease, although it struggles with more demanding planars. The design is functional, but the oversized USB-C connector could be a hassle for some. Compared to pricier options, it holds its own, especially for relaxed listening. At 59€, it's a great entry point to iFi's acclaimed sound, delivering enjoyment without breaking the bank.
