What Hi-Fi? Awards for Mojo 2 & Qutest

Continued acclaim in the What Hi-Fi? Awards

We're absolutely delighted to share some truly great news from the 2025 What Hi-Fi? Awards. Once again, our digital-to-analogue converters have achieved outstanding recognition.

A clean sweep of the DAC category

We are proud to announce that the Mojo 2 and the Qutest have both been crowned with 2025 What Hi-Fi? Best Buy Awards in their respective price categories:

  • The Mojo 2 has been named Best DAC under £500.
  • The Qutest has been named Best DAC over £500.

With only two 'Best DAC' honours in the entire 2025 Awards, Chord Electronics has remarkably secured both of them, achieving a clean sweep of the category. This dominance is a testament to our unrivalled proprietary technologies and FPGA-based DACs.

An unprecedented legacy of success

This year's accolades further cement the extraordinary track record of both the Mojo 2 and the Qutest.

  • The Qutest has now been awarded 'Best DAC' for an unparalleled eighth year in succession, a truly remarkable feat for any DAC.
  • The Mojo 2  extends its own impressive run, winning 'Best DAC' for the fourth year in a row.

What's more, when we combine the success of the Mojo 2 with its pioneering predecessor, the original Mojo (which won every successive year from its 2015 launch until 2022), a Mojo DAC has now been awarded 'Best DAC' for an incredible eleven years in succession.

Recognition of Chord Electronics' values

These latest What Hi-Fi? Awards once again shine a light on the core principles that define Chord Electronics' DACs:

  • Our unique and proprietary FPGA approach to digital-to-analogue conversion.
  • Our commitment to British manufacturing.
  • The utilisation of advanced, proprietary technologies refined over decades with our digital design consultant, Rob Watts.

The success of the Mojo 2 and Qutest forms part of a much longer history of recognition for our DACs, including previous honours for the Hugo 2, its predecessor Hugo (2014), and the Qutest's own lineage, stretching back to 2013.

We are deeply encouraged by this continued independent press validation of our work and look forward to building on this exceptional success in the years ahead.
