At US$160, this lands below your comparable-market median of US$174 and right at the US$160 25th percentile, so it reads as a strong buy rather than merely fair. It is not a deep bargain by percentile alone, but it is priced at the low end of recent asking comps, which is exactly where a used Mojo Gen 1 should look if it’s complete and working properly.
That makes it a worthwhile grab because the Mojo Gen 1 is still well regarded for its clean, punchy, highly resolving DAC output and genuinely portable form factor. If the battery still holds charge well and the seller includes the right cable/chargers you need, the upside is solid; just make sure the buttons, inputs, and charging are all behaving as they should, since age-related battery wear is the main thing that can dent value on this one.
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.
