The original Mojo ran warm during use, but improvements have been made to safeguard against that. I do like the volume control and the way the spheres change colour to denote the current volume level, but this is certainly not a ‘DAC for beginners’.

I find the menu system a bit convoluted in action though, I have to look at the manual to remember the sequencing and what each orb represents and that does make using the Mojo 2 more involved than it ought to be. The new sphere introduces a navigable menu system where you can mute the Mojo 2, enable the button-lock feature when in transit and play with the four-setting crossfeed adjustment. You’ll notice the four control spheres as Chord calls them, up from the original’s three. The Mojo 2 looks nice, and it doesn’t make a fuss about it. It has the same tough industrial aircraft-grade aluminium housing as before that’s cool to the touch, the jet-black finish is both smart and unassuming.
I never reviewed the original Mojo but visually there’s not a huge difference between old and new. How well has it fared with that high ambition? Design The Chord Mojo 2 launches with the tagline of redefining portable audio standard. No pressure then to advance the DAC market further, especially since the Chord Mojo launched there has been a sea of digital audio converters in its wake. It was in 2015 when Chord first got its mojo, and seven years is a long time to wait for a sequel to what is considered to be one of the finest DACs of the last several years.
