ifi GO bar: A wolf in sheep's clothing...
Before purchasing it, as I usually do, I read all the available reviews to get an idea of what I would find when I opened the box. In addition to the many advantages, in the reviews, I found some "defects" listed... but all these "defects" all led in the same direction... and instead of pushing me away... they pushed me even more towards it. Many wrote about its balanced sound signature, the refined mids that were always present in all reproductions, the highs that were extended but never intrusive and never unbalanced the sound. But in the end there were "defects": bass perhaps too full and present, hiss with sensitive IEMs, poor power and dynamics with low impedance IEMs/headphones, difficulty in fine-tuning the volume due to its enormous power, sound tending in the dark... and then there was a feature and above all a value that differentiated it from all the other dongles on the market. The ifi GO bar is the only "dongle" that increased the impedance of the connected IEMs/headphones, increasing the power and above all the current it supplies... therefore not very suitable for IEMs with low impedance and high efficiency... and then there was him... the most shocking fact of all... with a 300ohm load it brings out the beauty of 6.2 volts in balanced mode. I said to myself "these are not dongle features, these are desktop equipment features and very good ones at that". Today as soon as it arrived (just to see if everything was ok) I connected it to the Letshuoer S12 PRO and it actually sounded a little dark and with the bass very evident (also due to the IEMs) just checked that everything was in order there I immediately disconnected the IEMs, turned the volume up to maximum and set the high gain. In a few seconds it was already connected in balanced mode to my Cayin iHA-6 which in turn was connected to the inevitable HE6SEV2... everything was ready for the test... and I turned it on. A wall of sound invades me already at 9:00 on the Cayin's volume... while with other dongles to get that result I would have had to go beyond 11:00. Everything is simply perfect, zero hiss, not even the shadow of advanced bass, an absolute reference balance, sound not too dark and not too clear in a word perfect, bass with very deep textures, restrained, dry, powerful, with millimetric control, mids with extreme musicality, smooth, clear, crystalline, voices and instruments of the same very high level, highs simply perfect for impact, extension, tonality and clarity. A top ten sound. Now let's go back to the title... and the substance of this "fake dongle"... you can listen to it with IEMs, like you can see a lion in a cage. You can listen to it with headphones, like you can see a lion in the zoo. You must listen to it in pure DAC configuration... and it will be like seeing a lion free in the savannah... its prey is music. Those at ifi thought of hiding a wolf under the skin of a lamb (as in the famous fairy tale)... now it's your turn to discover what the ifi GO bar can really do... a desktop DAC in the shape of a dongle. .. that's what didn't add up to me in its reviews... no one saw what was under the lambskin... a wolf.
) is the Luxury and Precision WP2. Hell it’s an expensive cable(i chuckle at it) but it as saved me upgrading to the ip15 pro for the usb 3.0 power draw as i truly believe it’s outpouring the most juice out of this incredible go bar gold > other cable have done. I forget which filter it is precisely, im set on the yellow filter (slow roll n phase) and it’s mwah from any artist. If you’re here unsure about a dongle; do yourself a favour, get it, you wont regret your last liver
