Chord Electronics Mojo 2

Chord Mojo 2

Almost seven years after Chord Electronics created the high-end portable DAC genre, the company’s long-standing digital design consultant, Rob Watts, has revisited, reimagined and reengineered the award-winning original with ground-breaking, world-first technology.

The new Mojo 2 benefits from several new features, chief of which is a revolutionary lossless DSP, the first of its kind in the world.

The innovative new ‘UHD DSP’ is fully transparent, enabling comprehensive tone adjustments across the frequency range, without any degradation in sound quality.

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

Entirely engineered around a powerful, custom-coded FPGA processor, Mojo 2 benefits from several unique technologies.

Central to the new DAC is the world’s first lossless DSP, an advanced ‘digital tone control’ without any degradation in sound quality.

The ‘UHD DSP’ gives Mojo 2 unrivalled compatibility with today’s

wide-ranging headphones, plus unparalleled flexibility with partnering equipment.

A further key feature is the new menu system, navigated via the new (fourth) control sphere, bringing mute, crossfeed, button-lock and tone control adjustment.

Mojo 2 offers greatly improved battery management, with faster charging rates, a huge 75 % reduction in power loss, plus a 9 % capacity gain.

A new USB-C data input adds greater flexibility, transparency has been greatly boosted, thanks to an improved noise-shaper, lower distortion and greater neutrality, plus Mojo 2 can even be taken wireless with the Poly streamer/server.

Handmade in the UK with a robust CNC-milled aircraft grade aluminium chassis, Mojo 2 offers unrivalled performance, class-leading sound and peerless build quality.
