Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

Hello

Firstly, I should say that I have updated my go-link to the latest firmware, 1.8. And I am using the go-link with Tidal on a Galaxy S22.

I get this prompt when plugging the go-link into my S22; "Allow TIDAL to access iFi USB Audio SE? Using TIDAL with this device might prevent hearing calls, notifications and alarms. Cancel/OK".

I don't get that prompt when plugging in my Sony NW-A55 in USB DAC mode.

If I select "OK", when I subsequently play tracks on Tidal the go-link detects MQA/magenta LED. But I get frequent, and extremely annoying, tiny gaps in the music throughout any track. Even if I limit the Tidal app to Hi-fi quality, of course no magenta LED, but I still get the gaps. I don't get these little gaps when listening to Tidal by any other means (bluetooth, a cheap USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor, or going via a Sony NW-A55 in USB DAC mode, nor when using the go-link with Tidal on a Windows laptop).

Also, unless I set the Tidal App to "unrestricted battery use" the music periodically stops completely and I need to wake the phone back up so the music restarts. I don't have to change this battery setting for the Tidal app when listening to Tidal by any other means.

However, if I select the "Cancel" option, at the above prompt, then the annoying gaps don't happen and the Tidal app is fine left on the "optimised" battery usage setting. But in this scenario the go-link doesn't detect MQA/no magenta LED, which kind of defeats a key benefit of using the go-link with Tidal!

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thank you.

I do not have an S22, but I just checked my Android phone and although I did get the message about Tidal using the GO Link, it has been functioning normally for me.

I would recommend a complete shutdown of your phone, and see if that helps at all. If not please submit your issue to our support team so we can track/solve it...

Thank you for the reply. Shutting down the phone and restarting it makes no difference. So I have submitted a ticket as you suggested. Thanks.

Interesting comment they had about connection drops, I’ve worn my Go Link while mowing the lawn and it didn’t budge, even with the main body dangling out of my pocket. I’ve been treating mine pretty abusively, smooshing it into the CA case with my IEMatch and Mammoths every day, and it hasn’t missed a beat.

Hello all - unable to connect to my iPhone XS. I suspect since last security update on iPhone few days ago. it has always worked flawlessly. It works connected to my laptop and even upgraded FW to 1.80 or connected as external DAC to my Hiby DAP. No error on iPhone it just is not recognised, no light on Ifi go link. It works though if connected through the Apple USB cam adapter instead. Anyone experiencing this and is there a possible fix?
