I'm more than happy to help, but can you please explain what is the issue? Thanks!

If it is regarding availability in the UK, I already see AV.com and AnalogueSeduction.net carrying the regular Go Bar, just not the Gold version.

@iFi audio are there plans to have the Go Bar updatable via Mac and if so how long will this take to happen? As I understand it is only updatable via PC (which I don't have access to). If Mac will not be supported I'll have to cancel my pre-order

I am a Mac user, and bought the iFi Go Bar specifically to use with my iPhone 14 Pro Max while on the road. As others have commented, performance with Tidal on iPhone is very glitchy. Sometimes I will get 3 or 4 songs to play consecutively, and more often songs will not play unless I unplug the Go Bar. Rebooting the iPhone doesn't work. The MQA magenta light is red as often as magenta even though I play almost entirely MQA master songs, making me wonder if the "unfolding" is actually happening, since I can hear a distinct difference between magenta/red playback.

When I do get the device to play I like what I'm hearing. So please @iFi audio add a Mac-compatible firmware update already. There must be a large percentage of Go Bar users having the same issues. For now the Go Bar firmware update page says "Current Version - Windows only. IOS Version coming soon." Not sure how they could take this product to market without bug-testing for Mac users and having a compatible firmware update ready for us too.

We'll pass on this feedback internally so that our R&D team can investigate. Thanks!

Regular GO bars should be widely available by now, however our gold GO bars are globally limited to 1000 units and once that stock runs out, it's gone. Folks interested in getting these golden products should contact their local iFi distributors/resellers directly, but it should be said that these units are rather rare. Hope this helps, thanks!

It is not available anywhere in the UK right now, not to mention 20 may release date

My review of the iFi Go Bar and then versus Gold Bar and then compared to the Mojo 2. 18 minus long. Any questions, I'll try and answer them.

The majority of UK dealers show as expecting stock and not in stock. I spoke to one today and they're expecting more next week.

With all respect this is totally useless

Can someone provide a short SQ comparison between the Go Bar and the Questyle M15 and the Shanling UA5?

Thanks
