That’s on the outside, but inside, the Mojo is a real powerhouse. With its 180g weight, and the Mojo has a nice hefty feel to it and is heavier than you’d expect it to be. The chassis, measuring 22 x 82 x 60mm (h/w/d), is made out of aircraft-grade aluminium (“precision machined from a single solid block,” Chord says) with a silky smooth matte black finish. The aesthetics may be minimalist, but the build quality is tank-like. There are only three ball-shaped control buttons, and input and output connections can be found on its side panels. It’s housed in a small black box with the words “Mojo” and the Chord logo laser-etched on the top panel. In fact, I thought the Mojo sounded about as good as its bigger sibling – at under a third of the Hugo’s asking price.īITS AND PARTS: From looks alone, the Mojo doesn’t seem like much, but what’s hidden under the casing is where the real magic is.

Smaller, however, does not mean diminished performance. Headphones are called into use only where speakers are not practical, which actually happens more often than not since we don’t lug our audio systems to work and back, right? Not that I do not appreciate the accuracy and detail that headphones give… I do, but speakers are my preference.Īnyway, the Mojo (short form for MObile JOy) is a product born out of Chord’s highly-acclaimed Hugo, albeit in a much smaller shape and form. I could stop writing here and that would pretty much sum up the experience I had with the Chord Electronics Mojo DAC/headphone amplifier.įull disclosure before we proceed – my listening veers heavily towards speakers.
