Chord Electronics Mojo 2

Chord Electronics Mojo 2 – Pure FPGA sound anywhere you go

The Chord Electronics Mojo 2 is a portable DAC and headphone amplifier built around a custom-coded FPGA processor. It keeps Chord's desktop-grade conversion in a pocket-sized aluminium chassis, so you can drive full-size headphones from a phone, laptop, or digital audio player without staying tied to a desk. The revised version adds a 4.4 mm balanced output and switchable USB-C charging alongside the existing 3.5 mm output and Micro-USB data input.

Key Features

• Custom FPGA DAC: Proprietary digital processing handles PCM up to 768 kHz/32-bit and DSD256.
• UHD DSP tone control: Lossless digital EQ adjusts bass, mids, and treble without degrading the signal.
• Dual headphone outputs: 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced outputs for different headphone types.
• Multiple digital inputs: USB-C, Micro-USB, optical Toslink, and coaxial inputs.
• Smart battery management: Around 8 hours of playback, desktop mode for permanent power, and faster charging.
• Chord Poly ready: Add the Poly streamer/server for wireless playback and SD card library access.

Customer Benefits

If you want hi-fi sound on the move, the Mojo 2 fits in a pocket but outputs the voltage and current needed for demanding headphones. The UHD DSP lets you tune the response to your cans or hearing without adding noise, and the 4.4 mm output gives balanced users a proper option. At home, desktop mode keeps it powered cleanly without cycling the battery.
