Chord’s Mojo 2 still has a strong reputation as a compact, high-performance DAC/amp, and A$525 sits just above the A$516 median for the 57 recent AUD comps. It’s also comfortably below the A$611 75th percentile, so this reads as fair value rather than ambitious.
For a buyer, the appeal is straightforward: it’s one of the better-regarded portable DACs in its class, with genuinely useful sound-shaping and enough finesse to scale good headphones well. At this price, I’d be looking for a clean unit with the charger/cables and no battery or button issues, but there’s no need to be alarmed if the listing is otherwise tidy.

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.
