Chord Electronics MOJO DAC / Headphone amp Good condition Chord Mojo DAC / Headphone amp. Comes with original packaging and has only been used by me at a home office. Much better than iFi and Audiquest Dragonfly cobalt I have compared it to and has not been out of place with my Focal Clear and Utopia headphones which I’ve used it with. Free standard shipping. Specifications: Inputs Micro USB 768kHz/32-bit 3.5mm coaxial 768kHz/32-bit Optical TOSLINK 96kHz/24-bit Separate 1 amp Micro USB charging port Output Output Power @ 1kHz – 600O 35mW Output Power @ 1kHz – 8O 720mW Output Impedance: 75m
Condition is good, which fits a sensible asking price rather than a bargain-bin one. At A$380, it sits above your database median of A$278 and above the A$398 75th percentile by a hair only if you factor in extras; on the numbers given, it’s a bit ambitious for a standard used unit, though not wildly off if the package is clean.
That said, the first-gen Mojo is still a well-liked little DAC/amp: compact, genuinely capable, and still a solid step-up piece for a portable or desktop setup. If it’s complete with charging cable and in tidy shape, the upside is convenience and long-term usefulness rather than rarity. I’d like it more around the median, but at A$380 a well-kept example is still buyable if you specifically want the form factor and don’t mind paying a premium for condition.
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.
