Chord Electronics have been producing cutting-edge digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and amplifiers using innovative methods since their founding in England in 1989. Founder John Franks and engineer Rob Watts have once and again turned the audio world upside down with their unique designs.

At the heart of every Chord DAC is an FPGA chip (field-programmable gate array) loaded with custom code to optimize analog conversion for timing and low noise and deliver and incredibly natural, musical sound.
