However, for those who are after a primarily portable or desktop DAC solution in this price region (and cannot triple their budget to Chord Hugo 2 territory), we believe the decision 'to Mojo 2' or 'not to Mojo 2' is far easier. And what about existing Mojo owners? Honestly, Chord has left us no choice but to recommend the upgrade." - What Hi-Fi? Chord Electronics Mojo 2 REVIEW "I have been nothing but extremely impressed with the Mojo 2, its delivered the goods in all areas and opened my eyes to some new ones too. I think Chord have taken a very good product and made it not only much better but also much more flexible and I think its a no brainer upgrade for Mojo users." - Terry Ellis Chord Mojo 2 portable DAC/headphone amplifier "I take my hat off to Rob Watts and Chord Electronics for the way that they have managed to incorporate sophisticated equalisation into the Mojo 2 without compromising its excellent sound quality. Add to that this all metal and impressively well finished little device is made in the UK for a price that competes with the best in the business and you have a bona fide winner" - Jason Kennedy Chord Electronics Mojo 2 "In truth, Mojo 2 makes the brilliant original sound a little opaque, coloured and closed-in and that’s remarkable enough. To listen to a superb recording like Eva Cassidy’s Songbird with Mojo 2 is to experience complex textures, limpid transparency, strikingly believable stereo perspectives and previously unnoticed recorded details subtly unearthed. It is, more than ever, a mobile joy. Ignore it at your peril" - Hi-Fi Choice Chord Mojo 2 "The Chord Mojo 2 is absolutely sparkling, it is surely one of the best portable digital solutions at this price. As well as that it has to be one of the best desktop solutions too. We have seen what other reviewers have said about the Chord Mojo 2, I’d like the HF&MS summary to be ‘sparkling audio fun’." - Simon Wilce MOJO 2 FROM CHORD ELECTRONICS "The cheeky chappy is back! Updated, more features but still retaining that compact form factor and matt finish, Paul Rigby reviews Chord’s headphone amplifier/DAC" - Theaudiophileman Chord Mojo 2 "The Mojo 2’s durable ‘milled from solid’ alloy case features multi-colour, illuminated ‘ball’ controls forpower, volumeand a new menu/tone function.A rainbow of colours indicates volume level, tone band, battery status and incoming sample rate" - Hi-Fi News The Small And Perfectly Formed Chord Mojo 2 Is A Worthy Upgrade "This is an audiophile quality DAC that can deliver superb sound on the move. I wish Chord had supplied cables for Android and iOS devices. If you are an iPhone user, you’ll need a Lighting to USB adapter to link with the Mojo 2. The one big feature that’s missing is a Bluetooth input but that probably would have pushed the price too high. If Bluetooth is important to you then it may be worth considering the iFi SEN Signature DAC that I reported on recently." - Mark Sparrow Chord Mojo 2 review "In all honesty we’d have been surprised if Mojo 2 had turned out to be a poor product. But even though Chord has had seven years to fuss over the way the original (and still excellent) Mojo performed, the gains in performance the Mojo 2 demonstrates - especially where stuff like soundstaging, and the control of attack and decay are concerned - are quite startling. We’ve put a tentative note in our 2029 calendar, ready for Mojo 3." - Simon Lucas
