Of all the quirky wordplays Chord Electronics has used in naming its products, Mojo - a portmanteau of 'mobile' and 'joy' - is undoubtedly the Qutest... sorry, cutest.

Launched in 2015, no one really knew if Chord's hunch that what the world really needed was a portable headphone amp/DAC that could channel 'studio-quality sound into the most demanding high-end headphones would catch on. Game changer is a term with a grand history of being bandied about in hi-fi circles, sometimes with little justification. But there can be no argument in attaching it to the Mojo which all but bewitched reviewers, sold like crazy, and still has no sonic equal for the money.
