UK’s Chord Electronics has announced an update to the “Mojo 2,” a staple portable DAC/headphone amplifier. Responding to user feedback, 4.4mm balanced output and USB-C charging functionality have been added while maintaining the price at £395 / US799.
Update Details
4.4mm Balanced Output Added
One of the two 3.5mm headphone outputs has been replaced with a 4.4mm balanced output. According to Chord, this enables use with “a wider range of high-performance headphones.”
Additionally, independent volume memory functions have been implemented for both the 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs. This eliminates the need to readjust volume when switching between headphones with different sensitivities.
USB-C Charging Support
The Mojo 2’s USB-C input is now switchable, supporting both data transfer and device charging. New models feature a “flash” mark added above the input terminal to indicate charging capability.
What Remains Unchanged
All other Mojo 2 features and specifications are maintained:
- FPGA Pulse Array DAC
- Lossless UHD DSP
- 8 hours of battery life
- Compact form factor
- High-quality aluminum case
- Multi-color globe control buttons
- Coaxial and optical digital inputs
- Micro USB terminal (for Poly 2 connection)
Compatibility with the Poly 2 streamer module is also fully maintained.
About the Previous Model
The previous Mojo 2 will continue to be available while supplies last. There may be clearance sales, offering an opportunity for a good deal depending on timing.
Identifying New vs. Old
New models can be identified by:
- Charging “flash” mark above USB-C terminal
- Bold “2” logo
