Chord Electronics, a world leader in digital audio, through Beyond Innovations, Inc. their exclusive distributor, has launched Mojo, a British-built headphone amplifier and DAC that enables smartphones and connected devices to deliver recording studio sound quality from any headphone.
‘Mobile Joy’ or Mojo is a headphone amplifier and DAC (digital-to-analogue convertor) that empowers smartphones to deliver music content at up to studio-master-tape quality with Chord’s advanced proprietary digital signal processing technology.



Mojo is entirely designed and manufactured in England using British expertise, 27 years of high-performance audio experience to produce most advanced device of its kind in the world. It comes in a very portable and compact form built with aluminum and matte back finish. It is made with simplicity for easy operations, using Spherical coloured buttons for power on/off, volume control and file frequency information that illuminates and cycles through a range of rainbow colours.

Makes use of New Artix-7 FPGA chipset from Silicon Valley’s Xilinx, making Mojo the most advanced DAC of its type as well as uses an FPGA — a programmable circuit that enables its skilled engineers to directly implement its own digital audio expertise which is uniquely for Mojo.



It has three different high-resolution digital inputs: Micro USB, optical and a 3.5mm coaxial input. Input selection is automatic: if more than one input is active, they are prioritized with USB first, coaxial second and optical third. Optical operates up to 192kHz, Micro USB and RCA (mini-jack) up to an incredible 768kHz.

Mojo is capable of playing all of today’s music formats: PCM; WAV; AAC; AIFF; MP3 and FLAC as well as covers specialist high-resolution formats such as DoP DSD files: DSD 64; DSD 128 and DSD 256.
