iFi Audio GO Bar Ampli DAC/préampli/casque ultraportable

all in one ....best powerful portable

I am a fan of portable audio and own many good quality portable DAC/amps including the Go Blu, Hip DAC, THX Onyx etc. I knew the Go Bar was well received but it sounds much better than I expected, very lively and highly engaging, this is a bit of a cliche but I really do hear sounds in my music that somehow hadn't caught my attention before.It feels very robust, is lighter than I expected from reviews. The IE Match feature is very useful, I have used the standalone IE Match device with my sensitive IEMs, I find that it somehow improves the sound as well as reducing hiss. It is very easy to use.I'm very pleased with the Go Bar and would buy again if lost or damaged.

This is one of my favorite DACs in my collection. This dongle has an extremely powerful amp, allowing me to reach unreasonable volumes on hard-to-drive headphones. The build quality is amazing, full metal chassis with high quality 4.4mm TRRRS and 3.5mm TRS jacks. The sound quality is outstanding. It comes with 3 digital filtering modes, plus a bit-perfect mode so you can pick which one sounds best to you. The volume syncing doesn't work on my Android phone but works flawlessly on Windows. I do not own another headphone DAC/amp that is this powerful yet small enough to carry around in a pocket.
