Save $400 with the Chord Electronics Mojo 2 + Poly Combo Promotion
Chord Electronics is offering a £100 discount on both its Mojo 2 DAC/ headphone amp and Poly streamer/ player.
Chord's Mojo 2 is arguably one of the best portable DAC/ headphone amplifiers at its price. Furthermore, when connected to the Poly module, it increases its skills with hi-res wireless streaming and microSD card playback tested to 1TB cards. Now the British audio experts at Chord Electronics are sweetening the deal by offering a significant discount on both excellent products until August 31st.
The Applause Award-winning Mojo 2 was launched last year at £449, but, as with everything recently, the cost of ownership increased to £495. So, with this generous offer, you get to snap up the improved Mojo for £50 less than its launch price!
The Mojo 2 saw a USB C port added to its complement of inputs, including optical, coaxial (including dual-data for the M Scaler) and micro USB, alongside a separate micro USB charging port. It also got an extra button, compared with the original. The additional multi-functional polycarbonate globe adds mute and button-locking functions, plus access to a four-setting crossfeed adjustment and a range of tone controls (four equalisation bands – lower bass, mid-bass, lower treble and high treble – each with nine positive and nine negative 1dB adjustment steps). This is done using what Rob Watts calls "lossless DSP", which we are told "perfectly preserves the original music signal and perfectly performs the EQ filter function."
Moreover, it features Chord Electronics' latest FPGA-based Pulse Array DAC and Watts Transient Aligned (WTA) filter. The Mojo 2 boasts 40,960 taps – the technical measure of how complex the interpolation filter is – to the 38,912 taps of its predecessor, and the filter core is upgraded to current standards, which Rob Watts says "is a larger change than the taps. There is more to WTA filters than taps!" All the same, as many iterations of Chord DACs have shown us – there is a correlation between the number of taps and the resulting sound.
Our review stated that the Mojo 2 "makes for truly addictive listening sessions, no matter whether on the go or at the desk."
Add the Roon Ready Poly module, and the combination becomes the ultimate space-saving desktop hi-fi system that can be permanently connected to power thanks to its advanced battery-preserving Intelligent Desktop technology. Then, when it's time to head out, the devices are fully charged for around eight hours of playback.
The Chord Mojo 2 is available now for £395, as is the Chord Poly wireless streaming module.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
