iFi’s GO Bar Kensei claims to be the world’s first DAC with innovative K2HD tech for lossless audio

IFi GO Bar Kensei.

iFi products are a regular sight in our best portable DACs guide. There are multiple iFi models in there already but the new iFi GO Bar Kensei could well be joining them. It's the first ultraportable DAC to include K2HD tech, which promises to put back the frequencies and resolution lost when compressing to CD quality audio.

KD2H was developed by Japanese electronics firm JVCKENWOOD. It uses digital processing to identify the missing harmonics (above 22kHz) and resolution that are lost when outputting to CD quality. Those harmonics and data are then recreated and restored to deliver a sonic performance that's much closer to the original recording.
