The iFi Audio GO bar packs serious power under the hood. With up to 475mW @ 32ohms or 7.5V @ 600ohms, the GO bar has enough power to drive the most demanding high-end headphones - unheard of from a portable DAC/Amp of its size.

It's not all about power. Flick the side-mounted slider to enable iEMatch mode and drive the most sensitive IEMs with zero noise. Alternatively, set the slider to Turbo mode to juice up power-hungry headphones.
