British company Chord Electronics has completed work on the Quartet digital upscaler, a device that has been in development for around two years. Its first prototype was shown at the High End Show in Munich in 2024, although at that stage it was more of a demonstration sample. Now, the Quartet is preparing for commercial launch, while Chord Electronics itself describes the new product as one of the most significant in the company’s 37-year history.

Chord Electronics has updated its beloved portable DAC and headphone amplifier Mojo, now designated Mojo 2 (£395). The update introduces a 4.4 mm Pentaconn balanced output and USB-C charging. One of the two 3.5 mm outputs from the original has been replaced with the Pentaconn connector, opening the Mojo 2 to a much wider spectrum of headphones while retaining the standard single-ended 3.5 mm output. Both headphone outputs feature independent volume memory, allowing precise level adjustment for different headphones.

Chord Electronics has announced the release of the Chord Ultima Phonostage phono preamplifier – a top-of-the-line model that promises outstanding performance and will go on sale before the end of 2025.

Chord has expanded its GroundARAY and PowerARAY anti-noise systems ranges with the PhonoARAY, a filtering solution that allows virtual grounding of turntables to the phonopreamp or to the Phono input of an integrated amplifier.
