Bloom's Take Mojo 2 falls into the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” school of design. It’s a lovable little black brick, just like the original, and it also matches the original in its focus on providing the highest level of sound quality possible at this price point. The total sound experience and the features are a clear evolution of the Mojo, making Mojo 2 one of the best portable DAC/amps on the market. |

I have the original mojo and I like the warm sweet sound the mojo 2 isn't as warm sounding but seems to have slightly better detail, and the ability to use eq is great, I think it is worth the upgrade over the og mojo.
Wanted something small and portable for the go, but also good enough to use as my main PC DAC/Amp. I've owned several Chord products, and this one is just as amazing as the others. It improves on all the aspects of the original mojo - more clarity, detail, and a larger sound stage. I also love that fact that there is a built in EQ so you can adjust on the device rather than depending 3rd party software.
To top it off, I bought this as an "open box" - at the time I purchased, Bloom didn't have one and sent me a brand new one at the same price. Now THAT is customer service - couldn't be happier with my purchase!
