I’m not going to dwell on tech specs so if you want to know more about that, take a look at the table down below the review. But there are a few important things worth mentioning here. The first among them is that Mojo 2 is still compatible with Poly streamer. The next one is t...
If you look at the coverage of the Mojo 2, you’ll hear a lot about tech specs and how it compares to the Mojo 1 and yada, yada, yada. And I’ll get to that and that’s also fine if all you want to do is close your eyes and hand over the cash. No problem. And many peop...
The Mojo 2 / Poly partnership provides a clever way to integrate Roon with a sweet-sounding legacy setup, using just a quality 3.5 mm to RCA interconnect cable. When I connected the duo to a vintage Yahama amp powering my old B&W DM603 S3 tower speakers, I was gobsmacked by what I ...
Mojo 2 benefits from the world’s first fully transparent ‘UHD DSP’. The proprietary technology uses a 104-bit custom DSP core running at 705/768 kHz: no other audio DSP offers the same accuracy. By using 104 bits plus extensive internal noise-shaping, Mojo 2 can deliver complete transpar...
Specs-wise the Mojo really does well now stacked up against the older Hugo with similar tap length but decoding almost up to Hugo 2 levels at 768kHz/32-bit and DSD512. Output power is not quite as strong as the Hugo 2 at 600mW into 32 ohms but certainly a little higher than the ol...
The analog output of the Hugo 2 is excellent and one of the best in its category. However, comparing the voltage line out of the Hugo 2 to some of its competitors and even some desktop units you can see that the Hugo 2’s line out Vrms is the same as the Mojo at 3Vrms. ...
Chord Electronics is highly regarded for everything from the base model portable DAC/Amps, like theMojo 2, all the way up to their higher end DACs and amplifiers like theHugo 2. Then there’s their top of the line offerings like theDave, a true champion in the high end DAC game. The...
Physically, the Chord Hugo TT2 sticks firmly to the squarish template set by its predecessor. The Mojo’s stylistic influence is felt as strongly here as it was with the recently upgraded standard Hugo 2 design, with a refinement of the scoops, lit porthole windows and cosmetic flourishes the...
The Hugo 2 is happier on the top of a stack rather than sandwiched in the middle or below. Mojo Influence I cannot thank Chord enough for moving that tiny power switch from the back of the Hugo 1 to the super easy-to-use Mojo-style bubble buttons on the ‘front of the Hugo 2. ...
