iFi has announced a brand new ultraportable DAC that promises to bring the magic back to your digital audio. The GO Bar Kensei is the world's first ultraportable DAC to deliver JVC's K2HD technology, which is designed to reintroduce the rich harmonics that are sometimes lost during digitisation. Think of it is as upsampling the warmth of your sonic sources.
Rather brilliantly, iFi says that the GO Bar Kensei merges "artistry and Japanese swordsmanship with cutting-edge audio technology". But while the design definitely harks back to Japanese tradition, what's inside has more cutting edge than any sword.
