Add a dedicated converter and amplifier to your phone or laptop with the iFi Audio GO bar Kensei. Its stainless-steel enclosure houses K2HD processing and balanced headphone connectivity in a compact USB-C format.
Key Features
- K2HD Technology – processing developed by JVCKENWOOD to restore detail lost in digital files; it works with PCM up to 192kHz.
- Balanced 4.4mm and S-Balanced 3.5mm outputs – up to 477mW into 32 ohms from the balanced jack, with a twin-mono output stage.
- Cirrus Logic DAC – handles PCM up to 384kHz, native DSD256 and full MQA decoding over USB-C.
- Four digital filters – Bit-Perfect, Standard, Minimum Phase and GTO let you fine-tune the presentation.
- XBass+ and XSpace – analog bass extension and a wider sound field, usable separately or together.
- iEMatch and Turbo Mode – reduce output for sensitive IEMs, or add 6dB of gain for harder-to-drive headphones.
Good to Know
K2HD has no effect on DSD, MQA or PCM above 192kHz, so it is best suited to standard streaming and CD-resolution files. The S-Balanced 3.5mm jack also works with ordinary single-ended headphones.
