iFi's newest hi-res headphone DAC and amp squeezes into a tiny USB-C earbuds cable — you just add your own audiophile IEMs
The iFi Go cable manages to fit a DAC/headphone amp into one small cable, which you can use on your phone or laptop.
iFi introduces its latest high-resolution headphone DAC and amplifier in a compact USB-C earbuds cable, which requires users to provide their own in-ear monitors (IEMs). The new Go Cable is part of iFi's lightweight Go series and can be pre-ordered for $79 / £79 (approximately AU$160) ahead of a September 21 release. The cable connects from a USB-C port to a DAC and headphone amplifier, interfacing with 0.78mm 2-pin connectors for compatible IEMs.
The device, supporting 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, delivers 70mW of amplification at 32 ohms. The Go Cable's standout feature is its all-in-one design, eliminating the need for separate headphones or earbuds. This makes it easier to enjoy high-quality audio on-the-go, reducing the hassle of packing multiple devices and streamlining travel. iFi has also launched a starter kit, including a pair of AIRO Astra buds, for an additional $20 / £20 (about AU$40), offering users an affordable entry point into the product line.
