Mission 778X Stereo Amplifier with 778S Streamer & 778CDT CD Transport Bundle (Silver)
Complete Compact Hi-Fi System – Designed to Work as One
This Bundle Includes:
The Mission 778X amplifier, 778S network music player and 778CDT CD transport are engineered as a perfectly matched system. Together, they deliver a powerful yet refined sound with modern streaming flexibility and dedicated CD playback — all in a space-saving, half-width design.
Awarded 5 Stars by What Hi-Fi?, the 778X sits at the heart of this bundle, offering balanced, engaging sound with a specification that covers both traditional and digital sources.
Mission 778X Integrated Amplifier
Compact Size, Serious Performance
At around half the width of a conventional amplifier, the 778X is ideal for smaller racks, desktops or minimalist setups. Despite its compact footprint, it delivers a confident 45 watts per channel — more than enough to drive most bookshelf and compact floorstanding speakers with authority and control.
Detailed, Balanced Mission Sound
The 778X follows Mission’s long-standing approach to musicality: clean detail, natural tonality and a rhythmic presentation that keeps music lively. Whether you're listening to classical recordings, acoustic sessions or modern electronic tracks, it maintains clarity without sounding clinical.
High-Resolution DAC Performance
Built around the respected ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC, the 778X handles high-resolution audio with precision.
- USB-B input: up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256
- Optical & coaxial: up to 24-bit/192kHz
It’s a strong partner for PCs, streamers, TVs and digital transports — ensuring your hi-res library sounds open and controlled.
Analogue & Vinyl Ready
For traditional sources, the 778X includes twin RCA inputs plus a dedicated Moving Magnet phono stage. The low-noise JFET-based circuit with accurate RIAA equalisation ensures vinyl playback sounds clean, dynamic and detailed without needing an external phono preamp.
Bluetooth & Headphone Listening
Built-in Bluetooth with aptX and AAC support makes quick wireless streaming simple. There’s also a dedicated headphone amplifier designed to drive demanding headphones with greater depth and control than standard outputs.
Mission 778S Network Music Player
Advanced Streaming in a Compact Chassis
The 778S brings modern streaming capability to the system, combining Silent Angel streaming technology with Mission’s audio tuning. The result is stable performance and intuitive control via iOS and Android apps.
Premium DAC & Upsampling
Inside, the ESS ES9038Q2M DAC with 32-bit HyperStream architecture processes incoming signals with impressive accuracy. All audio is upsampled to 352.8kHz or 384kHz, helping to reduce distortion and improve overall clarity.
Broad Hi-Res Format Support
The 778S supports a wide range of formats, including:
- FLAC, WAV, Apple Lossless
- DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 (DoP)
- DSD512 via PC USB
It’s designed for listeners who want to get the most from high-resolution downloads and streaming services.
Flexible Streaming Options
Compatibility includes:
- Apple AirPlay 2
- Spotify Connect
- TIDAL Connect
- Qobuz Connect
- DLNA network playback
- Internet radio via TuneIn
- Roon Ready certification
Balanced XLR and RCA outputs ensure easy integration with the 778X or other amplifiers.
Mission 778CDT CD Transport
Dedicated CD Performance
The 778CDT is a true CD transport, meaning it focuses purely on extracting digital data accurately before passing it to your chosen DAC or amplifier. By removing the internal DAC, Mission allows you to benefit from the high-quality conversion stage in the 778X or 778S.
Precision Engineering
A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) controls the master clock to reduce jitter and deliver a stable signal. Separate low-noise power supplies for key circuits help minimise interference, preserving detail and timing accuracy.
USB Media Playback
In addition to CD playback, the 778CDT supports USB file playback via the rear USB-A port. Compatible formats include WAV, FLAC, MP3, WMA, AAC and APE, making it a versatile digital source. The clear OLED display makes navigation straightforward.
Optical and coaxial digital outputs ensure wide compatibility with DACs and digital amplifiers.
Cohesive Design & Flexible Setup
Finished in Silver, the trio shares a clean, understated aesthetic. Their half-width chassis allows you to place two units side-by-side in the space of a traditional full-size component, or stack them for a compact high-performance system.
