The Mojo 2 has a strong reputation as a compact, genuinely high-end portable DAC, and at A$446 this listing sits below the A$443–A$604 middle half only by a hair, just under the median A$513. That makes it a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal, but it’s still solid value for a piece that’s widely respected for its detailed, punchy sound and versatile headphone-driving ability.
What makes it worth a look is how much performance Chord packed into a tiny box: clean DAC output, excellent detail retrieval, and easy transport for desktop or portable use. At this price, the main thing to confirm is simple completeness and health—original cable, USB inputs working, buttons responding properly, and no battery or charging oddities—because a clean example here is more about confidence than bargain-hunting.

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.
