This is a strong deal. At US$699, it sits well below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of US$828 and substantially under the US$944 median, making it a bargain if the unit is fully functional and complete.
The Anni is a particularly appealing compact amplifier for a desktop system: it combines a refined headphone stage with 10W-per-channel speaker drive, two RCA inputs, both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphone outputs, and Chord’s ULTIMA-derived amplification in a beautifully made chassis. Check that the external 15V power supply, manual, and any original cables are included; otherwise, this is an excellent entry point into Chord’s Qutest-sized system and a price worth pursuing.

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.
