iFi audio GO bar Kensei

The iFi Audio GO bar Kensei is a refined USB DAC and headphone amplifier that combines performance and design at the highest level. Inspired by the traditional Japanese Kensei, a warrior and master of strategy and strength, this DAC offers unparalleled sound quality in a compact size. The Kensei is made of high-quality Japanese stainless steel, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also contributes to the robustness and durability of the device.

One of the most striking features of the GO bar Kensei is the use of JVCKENWOOD’s “K2HD technology”. This advanced technique restores degraded digital audio sources back to their original quality. This means that listeners can enjoy music as it was intended, with a clarity and depth that is close to the original master recording. In addition to this impressive technology, the DAC also supports audio formats such as 32-bit/384kHz PCM, native DSD and full MQA decoding, making it suitable for audiophiles who strive for the highest resolution.

Furthermore, the GO bar Kensei offers a wide range of adjustment options, including a 4.4mm balanced output with a symmetrical twin-mono output stage. Thanks to the four digital filters and analog processing modes such as XBass+ and XSpace, users can tailor the sound to their specific music style or headphones. Whether you have sensitive in-ear headphones or power-intensive over-ear headphones, the iEMatch and Turbo mode ensure optimal output. In addition, the audio quality has been improved through improved power supply and clock circuits, allowing the Kensei to surpass the original GO bar in precision and performance.
