Product Types

Born out of the uncompromising world of avionics, at Chord Electronics we focus on two main objectives: creating the world’s finest-sounding hi-fi and pushing the boundaries of innovation. We engineer visually unique and sonically stunning designs that defy time.

Streamers

DACs

DACs

Whether you need a desktop solution, a mobile device for on-the-go listening, or a dedicated unit for home listening, we have a Chord Electronics DAC for you. Our multi-award- winning proprietary FPGA technology has become legendary and remains the most advanced in the world.

Preamplifiers

Preamplifiers

When it comes to routing delicate music signals, they need to get to the right place, at the desired level, in a low-voltage environment without adulteration: the preamp must be a silent partner. This is the philosophy behind our preamps, giving you complete confidence in our engineering.

Integrated Amplifiers

Integrated Amplifiers

Our integrated amplifiers offer the most convenient and affordable way into Chord Electronics amplification ownership. Offering a choice of power outputs, plus a convenient DAC-equipped model, our integrateds carry all the hallmarks of our advanced pre-power amps in a space-saving package.

Power Amplifiers - Mono

Power Amplifiers - Mono

Amplification is at the heart of what we do at Chord Electronics. We have been implementing our proprietary technologies, such as our legendary high-frequency power supplies to all our amplifiers since the 1980s, but now with an all new dual feed forward error correction topology we have taken our world class designs to the next level. If you require more power, more customisation options and more performance than our stereo amps offer, then our mono power amplifiers are for you.

Power Amplifiers - Stereo

Power Amplifiers - Stereo

One performance step ahead of our integrated amplifiers, our stereo power amplifiers allow you to build a powerful system with the benefits of isolated components and the flexibility of upgrading individual components
