At £300, the obvious alternative is waiting for a cheaper Mojo 2, but this one is still fairly priced rather than a bargain. Recent comparable listings put the median at £276, with the central market running from £247 to £322; £300 sits comfortably inside that range, though the unknown condition means it is not an automatic buy.
The Mojo 2 remains a very capable portable DAC/headphone amp, combining clean, detailed conversion with useful four-band tone control, crossfeed, USB-C input and improved battery management. It also offers both 3.5mm headphone outputs and broad digital-input flexibility. At this price, confirm that charging works properly, battery life is reasonable, and the USB-C input and controls behave normally; a case, cable and proof of healthy battery would make £300 easier to justify.

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.
