I wanted to be able to listen to Hi-Res audio again and found support built into modern phones virtually non existent. I bought a HIDIZ USB C headphone DAC that I thought would mean I could listen to high quality again but alas no. It required putting my phone in developer mode with USB debugging enabled to work, it was very hit and miss sometimes not working at all. Very poor. I bought a Sony phone that supported Hi-Res audio. It was good but the headphone amp on it was rubbish. Not good enough to drive decent headphones. Both of these went on eBay. I then decided to buy the GO Link to listen with my new iPhone having switched from Android. Really wanted to listen to Apple HiRes Lossless properly. It comes with a USB C to lightning adapter included. I plugged it in and added a pair of good quality wired headphones then went into the settings in Apple Music and switched on being able to listen to HiRes Lossless. It worked perfectly without any problems. The sound was very impressive. The first album I managed to find that was Hi Res was Iggy Pop’s “The Idiot” I found the stereo separation excellent. Hearing subtle nuances in the sound field I hadn’t heard before. All the different components of the opening track Sister Midnight could be heard individually rather than blending into the entire sound of the song. I did notice bits I hadn’t heard before. Even Iggy’s backup vocals behind his own main track could be heard quite clearly. Tried lots of other albums in high res quality and all sounded excellent. Apple Music on the iPhone iOS can’t seem to do gapless properly which is a bit annoying. It can on Android apparently. No fault of the GO (come on Apple) Listening to the Go Link with Qobuz I had no gapless worries and LP’s like Floyds Dark Side of The Moon or a bit of Jean Michel Jarre all worked fine and sounded REALLY good! I’ve also used it whilst working plugged into my MacBook Air and can listen to my own HD Audio collection. All in all a well built great little headphone DAC at a very reasonable price. Finally I can listen to HD Audio again. Very pleased, can’t fault it. Review: Amazing product in an amazing price. - I am posting here a quick preview before I post my long one in headfi. I have many similar devices (ka3, ka2, dc03 pro, DRAGONFLY V1.2, DACMAGIC ) and reviewed the ifi go bar in headfi few months ago. The go link is the absolute nobrainer to buy immediately. The sound is absolutely stellar and scale significantly my beloved 58x that are not easy to drive. Now if you have vastly more difficult to drive headphones than the 58x you should look devices like the ifi go bar and fiio ka3. The ifi go bar is also very good but I find it expensive and I do not have expensive headphones to match at the moment. The fiio ka3 is also amazing for the money but drawing a lot more power and a bit aggressive tuned for my taste. Even if you have that there is still room to buy also the go link is so much smaller, so much more efficient and tames the ESS sabre dac sufficiently enough to make it sound organic as only ifi products can sound. To my taste is much better than the dc03 pro, I am still thinking to return the dc03 but if I keep it will be only for the app with the special discrete volume steps. And the s-balanced configuration can be used with a suitable adapter and your special balanced cable that you already have and love in one of your favourite headphones so almost not to miss balanced configuration at all.. The icing on the cake : a very good lighting adapter for the iPhone is also included. I paid 17£ for that when I bought my ka3. I mean how much better deal can be than that? ## Features - Greatly improves headphone sound from any device with a USB output - Connects to USB-C ports (adapter for USB-A ports also included) - ES9219 Sabre DAC chip with Quad DAC+ technology - 32-bit HyperStream III DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator - Supports hi-res audio up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD256 and MQA - Dynamic Range Enhancement technology - Powerful amp drives all manner of headphones and in-ear monitors - Gold-plated 3.5mm headphone socket - Magnesium aloy enclosure – robust yet lightweight - General Disclaimer: The image colour may differ from the actual product due to lighting.

Even though the connection in the picture is android usb c. It comes with an iphone adapter in which I use. **Q: does this still come with an iPhone lightning adaptor?** A: I don't believe this ifi dac/amp dongle was ever issued with a lightning cable/adaptor for use with Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod). The only adaptor provided is for usb-c to usb-a adaptor, for connection to full size usb 2/3 connection. Mine certainly didn't, I hope that helps. **Q: Does the product have an usb c to lightening adaptor in the box.** A: No it doesn't come with an adapter any more. Please believe the seller (see their reply above), and not all the other people saying that it does! I checked with iFi myself, as all the reviews I'd seen online said that it came with an adapter (as do some of the Amazon reviews). However the iFi website no longer mentions it, and neither does the product description. Turns out that they used to include one, but now they don't any more. They expect you to buy one separately yourself. Hopefully they will update the description to make this clear, as it's potentially very disappointing (it certainly stopped me from ordering). This info was correct as of 11th April 2023. **Q: How does it connect to phones with 3.5mm head phone connection?** A: Hi, The iFi device has a standard 3.5mm socket. Just plug the USB VC into your phone and plug the headphones in as you would normally. It sounds great. A big upgrade over Bluetooth. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hi-Res Audio Headphone Heaven *by G***S on 25 February 2023* I had an LG phone in the past that had an ESS DAC built in and it sounded great with MQA files and Hi Res Audio.

With newer mobile phones I haven't been able to use them though because of having no 3.5mm jack. My current phone is a Pixel 7 Pro for reference. I really hoped this dongle would be the solution as Bluetooth headphones are nowhere near the same audio quality. This device did an excellent job of converting the information, the sound was balanced and of excellent quality. However, random tracks often didn't play at all, when the same track had been played previously. There was the occasional pop sound. No immediate help was available from their website; apart from getting a support ticket and waiting. The poor experience of others online in getting their issues resolved convinced me to just return it and look elsewhere. ## Frequently Bought Together - iFi GO Link - Portable DAC & Headphone Amplifier - USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter - Improve Sound from Any Device - Gold-Plated 3.5mm Headphone Socket – Supports Hi-Resolution 32-bit/384kHz/DSD256/MQA - Sennheiser Consumer Audio IE 200 In-Ear Audiophile Headphones - TrueResponse Transducers for Neutral Sound, Impactful Bass, Detachable Braided Cable with Flexible Ear Hooks - Black - Anker USB C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter, Male to Female Nylon Cable for Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, Pixel 4/+ 4XL, and More Type C Devices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/505143893-ifi-go-link-portable-dac-and-headphone-amplifier-usb-c](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/505143893-ifi-go-link-portable-dac-and-headphone-amplifier-usb-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
