Not to mention that a source that is barely as thick as the Eletech Inferno Cable is able to actually put some punch into HE1000 Stealth, I find this to be hubris. I personally did most of the listening with whether the White fitler, or the Cyan one as I found them to sound the most enticing. iFi's in-house team has programmed the XMOS firmware to optimise sound quality and ensure a perfect partnership with the GO bar‘s 32-bit Cirrus Logic DAC chipset. For close listening, I used Roon ARC and Roon to push Hi-Res FLAC and MQA from Qobuz and TIDAL directly to the headphone output of my iPhone, iPad, or Apple Silicon MacBook Air.

Overall the GO Bar is excellent and gets the job done, and I liked the fact that it has a neutral character in it, letting your connected IEMs/HPs shine through with their flavours. output, enabling headphones equipped with a balanced cable/connector to make the most of the GO bar’s balanced audio circuitry. The musicality of this dongle is the element that impresses me the most, every other dongle I’ve tried or owned has had good aspects but none has matched the musicality of this, or the detail. At one end of the GO bar is an asynchronous USB-C input, at the other resides a pair of headphone outputs.

The GO bar is the best-realised form of the “dongle” DAC/amp that I’ve had the chance to spend some proper listening time with, and while it’s easy to be initially skeptical with a device this size, I can wholeheartedly say that I’m thoroughly impressed. I have personally spent many hours both sitting at my desk and walking around town while using the iFi GO bar, and while it certainly has its flaws, they are all minor, as you will quickly get used to increasing the volume or adjusting the filters to get the sound just the way you like it. We have two sonic enhancements, namely XBass+ and XSpace, but both are very mild and will not change the sound heavily when engaged.

The power consumption of the Go Bar is the highest from all the Dongle DACs I tested to date, and while it is efficient and goes to sleep fast, it consumes quite a bit to have the driving power it has, as you’d expect from a dongle with so much driving power.
