At £162, this is a strong bargain: it sits well below the £244 25th-percentile figure and £275 median from 112 comparable listings, making it unusually attractive if the unit is fully working. Even allowing for the unknown condition, there is substantial value here rather than merely a fair price.
The Mojo 2 remains a superbly capable compact DAC/headphone amplifier, with a clean, detailed presentation, plenty of drive, excellent timing, selectable crossfeed and genuinely useful lossless tone controls. It also accepts USB, optical and coaxial inputs, making it versatile beyond portable use. Before buying, confirm battery health, charging behaviour, both 3.5mm outputs and that the required charging/data cables are included; at this price, modest cosmetic wear is easy to forgive.
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.
