Chord Mojo 2 DAC/Headphone Amp

Chord Mojo 2 DAC/Headphone Amp

Its compact, its cool

Use it as a superb DAC in your hi-fi, or use it to make headphones sound better that you can ever imagine.

"Is this the best DAC? Let’s be crystal clear: the Chord device is not the out-and-out best-sounding DAC to appear. That throne will likely be occupied by a manufacturer working with much higher build budgets and street prices. But for a dollar under six hundred Euros, it might be near impossible to find a DAC that sounds as bold, as detailed, as spacious and as thrilling as the Mojo 2. At its heart, designer Rob Watts has put no off-the-shelf DAC chip from ESS, Wolfson, AKM or TI but an FPGA loaded with his custom code. That FPGA + Watts’ code is what handles the D/A conversion inside the Mojo 2." review by Darko Audio

The British designed, engineered and built Mojo 2 is the most advanced portable DAC and headphone amplifier in the world.

Distinctly different from all other devices, Mojo 2 uses proprietary British digital audio technology perfected over more than two decades, coupled to a powerful ‘FPGA’ processor. The result is class-leading sound quality both on the move or at home, with the power to effortlessly drive any headphones. For music just as the artist intended, Mojo 2 brings you closer to the music than any other portable.

The Mojo 2 is designed, engineered and handmade in the UK. It benefits from high-grade, bead-blasted aluminium casework, finished with a high-quality black anodization. Control is via four polychromatic polycarbonate control spheres. 

UNIQUE FPGA TECHNOLOGY

For more than 20 years, Chord Electronics has exclusively used powerful programmable (FPGA) circuits with custom coding to provide the most advanced digital-to-analogue conversion performance in the world. With digital audio technologies perfected over two decades, Mojo 2 contains more digital audio know-how than any other small DAC, resulting in unrivalled sound quality, all backed by peerless technical measurements from the lab.

CONNECT AND CONTROL

Mojo 2 offers several ways to connect to digital devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Digital inputs include fast-transfer USB-C, Micro USB, optical, and coaxial, with charging via a separate Micro USB input.

There are two 3.5mm headphone outputs, meaning two can listen simultaneously. Mojo's polychromatic light up buttons offer simple control with an additional visual guide to the device's settings.
