At US$400, the asking price for the used Chord Mojo 2 sits just below the 75th percentile of US$430 but remains comfortably under the new retail price of US$650, making it a fair, if not particularly aggressive, deal in the current used market. The median used price is US$347, and the 25th percentile is US$303; while this listing isn’t a bargain, it avoids being ambitiously high given the product’s strong reputation and performance.
The Mojo 2 is widely praised for its class-leading audio quality, featuring 125.7 dB dynamic range, USB-C charging, and a 4.4mm headphone output that supports high-resolution lossless playback. It delivers clean, powerful amplification suitable for demanding headphones, and its solid build ensures long-term reliability. At US$400, this is a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance portable DAC without paying full new price, especially if the unit includes original accessories or remains in original-owner condition.

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.
