Sold in Gunmetal, Black and Blue, the Tanchjim Space II, also written Space 2, is a USB DAC/amp with two CS43131 chips and a Clean Bridge USB input chip the page calls self-developed, listed at $114.80. The page gives 235mW at 32Ω, output levels of 4Vrms balanced and 2Vrms single-ended, 32Bit/384kHz PCM, Native DSD256 and a weight of 15.1 grams. An online DSP that works with the Tanchjim app is listed as well.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Three colors are listed, Space 2 Gunmetal, Space 2 Black and Space 2 Blue, all at $114.80 and orderable when the page was read, so the price is the same for each color. The page text names no cable, case or adapter and does not say whether a USB cable comes in the box. The 3.5mm port is described as taking an in-line mic to the CTIA standard.

How it compares

The Muse HiFi M3 Ultra ES9028Q2M Vacuum Tube Portable DAC & Headphone AMP is $104.99 and adds a tube stage, while the Space II is $114.80 with two CS43131 chips. The TANCHJIM Luna Dual CS43198 Portable USB DAC/AMP starts at $129.99 and is sold as a Standard version and an Asano Tanch limited edition, whereas every Space II color costs the same. The iBasso DC06 Portable DAC USB Cable Adapter is $119 and its page line mentions PCM and DSD support without figures. The Space II suits buyers who want in-line mic support and app-based DSP; the Luna suits those who want its limited-edition variant.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

HiFiGO's warranty runs one year from the order date for parts and labor; its policy names desktop DACs and amps, IEMs and dongles at one year and gives cables and adapters three months. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement, the buyer pays the shipping, and faulty items go back for service, not for a refund. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone, and its terms are governed by the laws of China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
