The timing is good if this is the original Mojo: it’s a mature design, with the newer Mojo 2 having long since taken the spotlight, so a clean older unit only needs to be judged on condition and battery health. At £115, this sits well below the £521 25th percentile and way under the £675 median for recent UK comps, so it reads as a strong deal.
What keeps the Mojo popular is the sound: it’s a very capable little DAC/amp with proper scale, punch, and a smooth but detailed presentation that still punches above many budget desktop units. For that money, it’s a worthwhile buy if it powers up cleanly, charges normally, and includes the right cable and accessories; battery wear is the main thing to check on older portables, but the price leaves room for a bit of risk.
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.
