US$585 is ambitious versus the recent used market: it sits well above the 75th percentile of US$446, and roughly US$215 over the median of US$370. Even allowing for strong demand on this model, you’re paying a clear premium rather than shopping in the normal range.
That premium only makes sense if the unit is unusually clean, comes with the box and all accessories, or has a documented low-use history. The Mojo 2 is well regarded for its lively, detailed sound, excellent portability, and genuinely useful feature set, so it remains a desirable DAC/amp to own. If the listing is truly complete and pristine, it can still be a tempting buy—but at this price I’d want proof it’s in top condition.
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.
