Irvine, CA, August 21, 2026—iFi Audio, the British audio innovator known for delivering high-performance portable, desktop, and lifestyle audio solutions, is thrilled to announce its presence at CanJam SoCal 2026, the West Coast’s premier headphone and personal audio event. The show takes place August 29–30, 2026, at the Irvine Marriott (18000 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612). iFi Audio will be welcoming attendees at Booths E6–E7 throughout the weekend.
Headlining this year’s showcase will be the iDSD Phantom, alongside the recently launched iDSD GR 2, iDSD Valkyrie Black, NEO iDSD 3, and iFi’s latest GO Series portable products.
Flagship & iDSD Series
The iDSD Phantom leads the CanJam lineup as iFi’s reference all-in-one streaming DAC and headphone amplifier, combining high-end digital processing, streaming and powerful headphone amplification in a single component.
The new iDSD GR 2 builds on the popular xDSD Gryphon with a new DAC architecture, increased headphone power, touchscreen controls and expanded wired and wireless connectivity. On Saturday, attendees can stop by the iFi booth to enter a raffle to win a GR 2.
Also featured is the iDSD Valkyrie Black, combining high-performance DAC and headphone amplification with sophisticated sound-processing options in a transportable design.
The NEO iDSD 3 combines DAC, headphone amplifier and preamplifier functionality in a versatile desktop component designed for headphones, active speakers and home hi-fi systems.
GO Series
iFi will also showcase three of its compact GO Series products, designed to upgrade everyday listening from smartphones, tablets and laptops.
The GO blu Air delivers iFi’s approach to high-resolution Bluetooth listening in an ultra-portable DAC/headphone amplifier, providing a convenient wireless upgrade for wired headphones and IEMs.
The GO link 2 provides an accessible entry point into iFi’s portable DAC range, offering a simple plug-and-play upgrade over the built-in audio of mobile devices and computers. Together, the three products demonstrate how iFi is scaling its audio technology into increasingly compact, everyday listening solutions.
The GO link 2 Max is iFi’s smallest and lightest balanced DAC to date, bringing balanced output to an exceptionally compact USB DAC designed to transform a phone, tablet or computer into a high-resolution music source. Attendees on Sunday can enter to win a GO link 2 Max and GO pod Air.
