Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chord Electronics, and what is it known for?
Chord Electronics is a British hi-fi manufacturer celebrated for cutting-edge DACs, amplifiers, and digital audio solutions. Its DAC designs use a proprietary FPGA architecture that delivers detail, clarity, and musical dynamism, and iconic units like the Hugo, DAVE, and Ultima have made it a leader in enthusiast-level digital audio. Vinyl Sound carries the full Chord lineup for Canadian audiophiles.
What makes Chord DACs different?
Chord builds its digital-to-analogue conversion on its own class-leading FPGA technology rather than off-the-shelf chips. This is the foundation of the whole range, from the compact Qutest up to the flagship DAVE, and it is designed to deliver instant, audible gains in system sound quality. It is why Chord DACs are a reference point for high-resolution digital audio.
Which Chord DAC should I choose: Mojo 2, Qutest, Hugo 2, Hugo TT 2, or DAVE?
The range scales from portable to flagship. The Mojo 2 is a pocket-sized DAC and headphone amp, the Hugo 2 is transportable for home and on the go, and the Qutest is a compact desktop DAC built to upgrade an existing system. The Hugo TT 2 is a tabletop DAC, preamplifier, and headphone amp for a full desk or hi-fi setup, and the DAVE sits at the top as Chord's reference DAC, preamp, and headphone amplifier. Tell our team how you listen and we will match the right one.
Is the Chord Mojo 2 worth it?
Yes. The Mojo 2 is Chord's most advanced portable DAC and headphone amplifier, British designed and built, delivering class-leading detail and clarity right up to studio-grade levels. It transforms the sound of headphones and connected systems from a device you can hold in your hand. Add the Poly streamer or a leather case to build it into a complete portable player.
What is the difference between the Hugo 2 and Hugo TT 2?
Both are built on Chord's DAC technology, and both drive headphones beautifully. The Hugo 2 is transportable, designed for use at home and on the move. The Hugo TT 2 is a tabletop unit that adds preamplifier duties and more power for a fixed desk or hi-fi system. Choose the Hugo 2 for portability, choose the Hugo TT 2 for a permanent centrepiece.
Can I stream music through a Chord DAC?
Yes. The Poly is a streamer and player that clips to the Mojo 2 for wireless and stored playback. The 2Go adds Ethernet, wireless streaming, and up to 4TB of microSD storage to the Hugo 2. The 2Yu digital interface partners with the 2Go to create a network bridge for a DAC, a DAC-equipped device, or the Hugo M Scaler, so you can bring streaming into a Chord digital chain.
What is the Chord Hugo M Scaler?
The Hugo M Scaler is a digital upscaler that partners with Chord DACs to elevate high-resolution playback in the digital chain. It slots in ahead of a compatible DAC like the DAVE or Hugo TT 2 and can be fed from the 2Go and 2Yu for network streaming. It is aimed at listeners building an all-Chord reference front end.
Does Chord make amplifiers for loudspeakers?
Yes. The stereo power amplifiers run from the Suzi and the Bertti up to the flagship ULTIMA 5 300W. The Ultima Pre 3 is the matching reference preamplifier, and the Ultima Integrated brings preamp and power amp into one chassis. Pair them with your speakers, and Vinyl Sound can help you match the right amplifier to your setup.
What is the Chord Anni?
The Anni is Chord's first desktop integrated amplifier, bringing its next-generation ULTIMA technology to both headphones and compact loudspeakers. It is built for a high-performance desktop or small-room system, and it pairs naturally with a Chord DAC like the Qutest or Mojo 2 for a complete compact chain.
Can I connect a turntable to a Chord system?
Yes. The Huei is a phono stage with MM and MC compatibility, conceived, engineered, and built in Great Britain to bring your turntable up to Chord's standard of amplification. The Suzi Pre also combines a preamplifier and headphone amp with a built-in phono stage. Vinyl Sound carries turntables and cartridges to complete a high-resolution vinyl chain.
What stands and accessories are available for Chord?
Vinyl Sound carries Chord's system stands and cases, including the Choral Ensemble Stand System, the modular Qutest System Stand designed to house and cool the Qutest range, and the premium leather cases for the Mojo 2 and Poly. These help you house, protect, and get the best from your Chord components.
Does Vinyl Sound sell authentic Chord Electronics in Canada?
Yes. Vinyl Sound carries the full Chord Electronics lineup available to Canadian audiophiles, shipped new with full manufacturer warranty. Order online for fast, secure delivery across Canada, or visit Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for expert advice on building your Chord system.
