Chord’s Suzi: High-End Performance in a Small Package

Posted by The Sound Organisation on Nov 17th 2025

Chord Electronics’ new Suzi amplifier system brings high-end performance to compact spaces with a modular design tailored for desktops, smaller rooms, and high-efficiency loudspeakers. Built around the Suzi Amp and its ULTIMA amplification technology, the system delivers Chord’s hallmark precision, speed, and musical transparency in a beautifully compact form.

At its core, the Suzi Amp provides 30 watts per channel of clean, controlled power using Chord’s advanced error-correction topology. Beneath its minimalist exterior is a clever modular interface—slide off the top plate to dock additional components directly to the amplifier, creating an elegant and space-saving setup.

When paired with the Suzi Pre, the system becomes a full-featured integrated amplifier. The Pre adds three analog inputs, dual headphone outputs, and a customizable MM/MC phono stage, with adjustable gain and impedance available from the top panel or the included remote. It’s a versatile solution for vinyl lovers and analog purists who want more control in a small footprint.

Digital enthusiasts can transform the system further by swapping in Chord’s Hugo 2 DAC and optional 2go streamer, turning Suzi into a compact streaming powerhouse with support for Roon Ready, AirPlay, Bluetooth, and UPnP. A dedicated charging bridge keeps the Hugo 2 powered, while an optional Multiplexer adds expanded USB connectivity for modern digital setups.

Available in black or silver and manufactured in the UK, Suzi introduces a fresh, flexible approach to premium audio. With its modular architecture and unmistakable Chord sonic pedigree, it’s an exciting new option for listeners who want reference-quality performance without the footprint of a full-size system.
