# Chord Mojo2 – Buyer Notes
Price Assessment
At AUD $250, this Mojo2 is well below the typical used market. Based on recent comparable listings, the median asking price sits around AUD $493, with the 25th percentile at AUD $444—meaning this listing is genuinely underpriced, roughly half of what you'd normally encounter. The Mojo2 remains a solid portable DAC-amp despite being a few years old; Chord hasn't released a direct successor that's dramatically cheaper or smaller. Unless there's damage, battery degradation, or missing accessories driving the price down, this is worth investigating seriously. The Mojo2 holds its value reasonably well in the used market, so a significant discount usually signals either a motivated seller or a unit with undisclosed issues.
What to Verify
Battery health is critical—ask how long it holds a charge and whether it still reaches full capacity. Request photos of the USB-C port and 3.5mm output jack for corrosion or physical damage, as both are common failure points. Confirm all original accessories are included: the USB cable, case, and documentation. Power it on, test both line-out and headphone modes, and listen for any crackling or channel imbalance. If the seller can't demonstrate it working, walk away.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
