iFi audio GO Bar - The Best Pocketable HiFi System, Bar None!
Jun 27, 2022 at 3:43 PM Post #391 of 1,190
Hi there. New here. I just got the Gold Bar explicitly for use with my iPhone 12 Pro, but I haven’t been able to get it to work even once. I even bought two different OTG lightning adapters. No luck.

I know the Gold Bar works, as it works fine on my MacBook Pro. So I don’t think it’s DOA.

So what are the chances we’ll get a fix to this soon? Feels like a premium beta product…

If there’s no imminent fix, I might courier mine back within the 15 day return period.

Since I bought this explicitly for use with my iPhone while on vacation, which I am now on, not having it has me pretty bummed. As my first IFI product, this isn’t the best introduction.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work with iPhone 12. Mine doesn’t and the same for a number of other users.

IFi support initially told me they had a fix but now recently asked me to send the device to them for ‘diagnosis’.

There is clearly a bigger issue here and I’m now just contemplating getting a refund.

Have you tried connecting the OTG cable after turning on the DAC?

I recently got a OTG lightening cable and it didn't read my Diablo unless I had the DAC on first then I plugged in the OTG into the DAC.

We're aware and working on it. As soon as I have any update on the subject, I'll let everyone know, thanks!

I have iPhone 12, all latest iOS + latest firmware, both GO and GOLD work with the iPhone I have. Mine is with 'lightning' connection. But this is not a "pro" version. Just my 5ct, may be theres a light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah, it seems to be a problem with the Pro/Pro Max models. Thanks for the feedback though - means there may be hope 🙂

Why don't they just put clear instructions on how to update?
Mac instructions on their web page are vague at best
With my iPhone 13 Pro the cycle of working/not working is absolutely hilarious🤪🤣

Received my gold bar yesterday. Very cute little guy!

I tried to drive Diana Phi. The volume was okay, still having some headroom, but sounds a bit thin comparing to my full chain. It is acceptable considering its size.

Today, I listened to it 6 hours with Dunu Est 112. I like it!

It ran very hot tho after a few hours.
