Against your recent GBP sold comps, £120 is a strong bargain: it sits well below the £465 25th percentile and far under the £654 median, so this is priced like a quick-sale opportunity rather than a normal used ask. Even allowing for the broader spread up to £1,970, the listing is decisively on the cheap side for this class of Chord portable DAC/amp.
That makes it attractive because this is a well-regarded little unit with a reputation for clean, highly resolving sound and proper portable flexibility. If it’s working correctly and includes the charger, cables, and any original box, the upside is straightforward: a respected bit of Chord kit at a price that leaves plenty of room for a battery or accessory refresh if needed.

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.
