Timing matters a bit here because this is still the current-generation Mojo 2 rather than an older discontinued DAC, so you’re buying into a model that’s still widely respected and easy to justify in a desktop or transportable setup. At £235, it lands below the £271 median and just under the £228–£324 interquartile band’s lower-middle area, so this reads as a good-value buy rather than a premium ask.
The appeal is straightforward: Mojo 2 is known for very strong sound quality for the size, with clean conversion, a capable headphone output, and the useful DSP tone-shaping that makes it more flexible than many small DACs. If the unit is complete and healthy, the price gives a nice entry into one of Chord’s most celebrated compact DACs without paying top-of-market money. The main buyer check is practical rather than alarmist: confirm battery health, charging behavior, and that the buttons/inputs all work properly.

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.
