What should you be asking first: is US$250 enough of a deal for a Mojo Gen 1, or are you paying up for a very portable classic? Against your recent comp set, it sits above the median of US$196 and just under the 75th percentile of US$254, so this reads as fair-to-slightly-strong, not a bargain but also not ambitious.
That makes sense for a unit like this: the Mojo is well regarded for its clean, punchy DAC/amp sound, tiny footprint, and genuinely transportable form factor, which still makes it a favorite for desktop and travel use. If it’s a clean, complete example with the right cable and no battery issues, the upside is convenience and performance rather than collector upside; at US$250, I’d want good condition and included accessories, but it’s still a reasonable buy if you want the format and sound.
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.
