This is a buyer’s market for portable DACs, and £100 is a bargain here: it sits below the £115 25th-percentile figure and well under the £143 median from 23 comparable listings. Even with the condition marked unknown, the asking price leaves useful room for a battery or cosmetic issue without immediately becoming poor value.
Assuming this is the Chord Mojo 2, it is a highly capable pocket DAC/headphone amplifier, valued for its detailed, dynamic presentation, low output impedance, and ample drive for both IEMs and many full-size headphones. Its USB, optical and coaxial inputs make it flexible, while the dual headphone outputs are practical. At £100, it is worth pursuing promptly; simply confirm that it powers up, charges properly, outputs cleanly, and includes the charging cable before paying.
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.
