The Mojo 2 is a very well-regarded portable DAC/headphone amp, and at £193 this looks like a strong deal against your used-market anchor: it sits below the £234 25th percentile and well under the £239 median. In other words, this is priced on the low side rather than merely “fair,” especially for a model that still holds its reputation.
That makes it a smart buy if it’s fully working and comes with the right bits. The real value here is Chord’s excellent DAC section, punchy drive, and the flexibility of a genuinely high-end portable unit that can also slot neatly into a desktop setup. I’d mainly want to confirm battery health, USB/charging behavior, and whether any original accessories are included, but at this price the listing reads more like an opportunity than a risk.

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.
