Yep that would be right, around $600 or close to $1000 in Australia.

The Chord Mojo - if you do get one - will pay for itself pretty quickly as it 
can be used with so many other devices than your phone, use it with your 
Desktop or Laptop computer for example, devices from Chord Electronics 
unfortunately have never ever come cheaply but the Mojo is probably one of the 
cheaper one’s from the company.

Regarding the chord electronics mojo: I think I'm looking at the same
thing, and they want darned near 600 bucks for it. Yikes! Is that the
one? 

I will wait to see what the reviews on amazon say if and when the case
that is discussed under this thread makes it to amazon in the States.

I know some UK reviewers said it was hard to get the phone in and out
of the case. But my experience with my 6S has been that after you get
it in and out of its case a few times, that does get a bit easier. I
can't see paying that much for a portable DAC, even though it could be
used on android devices as well. StillP $600 is waay more than I
can justify.

Not at all, its a case that the iPhone slips into and you’d hardly notice.

Arcam Music Boost

[John Gurd]

I've just ordered one of these to use with my iPhone 6 and B P7
headphones. It's a combined IPhone battery boost case, headphone amplifier
and lightning DA converter. 

 

The P7s sound great, but they sound even better with a little help. I've
been using a FiiO Kilimanjaro portable headphone amp occasionally with them
and noticed a difference. The Music Boost taking the digital signal direct
from the lightning connector on the iPhone should make a significant
improvement hopefully without the inconvenience of interposing a cumbersome
additional device.

Just looked at the Mojo. It gets fantastic reviews. I'll tuck that thought away 
for future reference.
