At US$345, this used Chord Mojo 2 is a fair deal compared to the obvious alternative of the original Mojo, which often trades near US$140 used but lacks the Mojo 2’s updated FPGA and battery improvements. It sits just below the median of US$348 from our database of 50 recent USD listings, with the 25th percentile at US$305 and the 75th at US$425, marking it as a solid, non-gimmicky buy in the portable DAC space.
The Mojo 2 is well-regarded for its timing accuracy, class-leading sound quality via proprietary FPGA tech, and support for high-res audio up to 768kHz and DSD256. With over 8 hours of playback and smarter battery management, it delivers genuine upside over the original. If this is original-owner condition with cables included, it’s a buying opportunity at a fair price for a fan of portable fidelity.

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.
