iFi has introduced the Go Cable, a new audio device that combines a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a headphone amplifier into a single USB-C cable. Designed for use with in-ear monitors (IEMs), the cable connects from a USB-C port on a device like a smartphone or laptop to two small 0.78mm two-pin analog connectors. These connectors are used to plug into the IEMs, which are sold separately. The Go Cable supports high-resolution audio formats, including 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, and provides 70mW of amplification at 32 ohms. It is currently available for pre-order at $79 or £79 (approximately AU$160) and will be released on September 21. The Go Cable is marketed as a convenient option for users who want high-quality audio without the need for additional hardware. It works with a range of devices, including smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2. It also includes microphone support for voice calls when connected to a gaming controller or handheld device. While the cable offers playback and volume controls, its main appeal lies in its all-in-one design, which eliminates the need for separate DAC/amp units and headphones. To enhance sound quality, the Go Cable uses iFi's THD Compensation technology, which helps reduce audio distortion. It also features the ESS Sabre DAC chip, known for improving dynamic range by up to 6dB. This combination of technologies aims to deliver clearer and more detailed audio. For those who need IEMs, iFi offers a starter kit that includes a pair of AIRO Astra buds. This kit adds an extra $20 or £20 (about AU$40) to the purchase price, providing a more affordable solution for users who don’t already own compatible IEMs.
