I remember there was a time (not so long ago) when I thought the Mojo looked a bit odd. The iconic multi-colored roller-ball buttons are just as retro-cool as the pictures indicate.
Imagine a deck of cards made out of black aluminum and you are getting in the right ballpark.
Out of the box, the Mojo is surprisingly small, solid-feeling and heavy. The Mojo was born.Ĭhord’s products are known to have a distinctive and quirky design, paired with outstanding build quality. A design for a smaller and less expensive portable DAC followed about a year later. Their amplifiers are in use at the BBC, Abbey Road Studios, Sony Music New York and the Royal Opera House in London.Ĭhord spent a couple of decades before they tackled the creation of a portable DAC (the Hugo). Over the years, Chord has garnered a reputation for British made, studio-grade audio performance in both their consumer and professional products. With the addition of lead engineer, Rob Watts in 1994, the recipe for Chord’s success was in place.
