Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The timing matters: this is the current Mojo 2 generation rather than the older original Mojo, so it remains a highly capable portable DAC/headphone amp rather than an obsolete model. At US$185, it is a strong deal—below your US$156–US$210 comparable range’s midpoint and close to the lower quartile, with the market median at US$190. That makes the asking price plainly attractive if the listing really is for a Mojo 2.

Its appeal is the unusually powerful, clean FPGA-based conversion, broad input support, and enough output for demanding headphones, plus genuinely useful lossless tone controls and crossfeed. USB-C data, optical, coaxial, and dual headphone outputs add practical flexibility. The unknown condition is the one reason not to call it an automatic bargain: verify battery health, charging, working illuminated controls, and that the charging cable and case are included. If those check out, US$185 is a buying opportunity rather than merely fair value.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Chord Electronics

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.
