We're back from Superbooth 2026, Berlin 🇩🇪🎧
We had a fantastic time showcasing the Alto integrated/headphone amp and more, with our friends at @audeze_official 🙏
There was a great atmosphere at this show and we got to meet plenty of happy Chord Electronics owners along the way. The live music was an extra bonus!

Insider view 👀
We’re back from the UK bank holiday and hitting the ground running. The sun is out in Kent, the tea is brewing, and the workshop is buzzing.
It’s a short week, so we'd better stop typing and start tinkering: those ULTIMA amplifiers won't build themselves! Back to the bench. 🛠️ #hifi #chordelectronics #audiophile
🎙 Studio Sunday 🎙
Last month, despite rising spring temperatures, things got a LOT cooler at The Pumphouse. 😎 We were privileged to host a masterclass in engineering excellence, welcoming:
Stefan Brown | mastering engineer, Abbey Road @masteredbystefan
Glenn Schick | mastering legend! @gsmastering
MSM Engineer | Mix Architect @msmengineer , Ed Sheeran, A$AP Rocky, James Blake...
These creators all use Chord Electronics and between them, they've helped shaped the music of successive generations cross-genre. Seeing our amplifiers and DACs in their worlds is an enormous privilege. 🙏
If you love music, check these guys out. #hifi #chordelectronics #music
Big news from The Pumphouse!
We've taken delivery of the brilliant @kerracoustic K100 floorstanders, which we are testing in our demo room.
Thanks to Jes Kerr for bringing them down to Kent (and then up the stairs!) They're sounding incredible with the Quartet, DAVE and ULTIMA PRE/ULTIMA (monos! #hifi #audiophile #chordelectronics
The countdown to HIGH END has begun! 🇦🇹🔊

Explained: The 'art' of D/A conversion
Rob Watts, our digital audio consultant, has teamed up with @ecoustics ' founder Brian Mitchell, to take music lovers on a journey into the art of D/A conversion.
Rob explores why Chord Electronics' award-winning custom-coded DAC designs consistently outperform off-the-shelf chips and how this unique approach to D/A captures lifelike sound that standard measurements often miss.
It’s a technical masterclass for any knowledgeable enthusiast looking to understand the hidden depths behind true high-end audio.
Our thanks to ecoustics for taking the time to talk tech with Rob. Link in bio.

Sideblocks revisited! 🇬🇧
Last month, we mentioned our no-additional-cost acrylic side block option when ordering amplifiers. Some of you asked how the blocks look against our silver finish, so here's the comparison. 🔽
