The iFi GO is an ultra-portable DAC/amp capable of decoding hi-res and MQA formats. It caters to Apple, Android, and PC users with seamless compatibility and included adapters. Yet, in the dongle world, beyond sound quality, factors like cost, portability, and battery drain matter. The GO link nails many checkboxes: format compatibility, size, build quality, and more. Yet, pitted against the much more affordable Apple dongle, its sonic improvements are subtle, raising questions on value. If ultra-portability with high-res decoding tops your list, the GO link fits the bill, but personal priorities may sway your choice.
