Missions 778X integrated amplifier represents a nearly four-decade obsession with sound for Mission. First launched as the 778 back in 1983, this amplifier is their first foray back into amplifiers since they launched the incredible Cyrus brand.
Amplification
The beating heart of the 778X is the Class AB power amp that incorporates a low noise transformer with a reservoir capacity of 30,000 uF keeps your music under close control and feeds to the gold-plated output terminals that deliver 45W at 8ohm and 65W at 4ohm with plenty of room for your speaker set to breathe.
Onboard DAC
With the advent of the digital age, Mission has been able to keep up thanks to the DAC used on the 778X which is harnessed from the Sabre32 family to deliver high-resolution sound with excellent dynamic range without distortion.
Well Connected
A lot of changes have occurred since the first iteration of the 778, for starters, there are more ways to enjoy audio with the advent of streaming. The 778X has been given the pre-requisite upgrades to compete at today’s high specification with USB type B, 3 S/PDIF sockets (two optical & one coaxial) handling the digital inputs with a trio of RCA inputs (two line level & 1 MM phono) take care of the analogue options.
The 778X doesn’t stop there though, it also includes an excellent quality Bluetooth module to stream music from your smartphone, tablet etc making this amplifier a superb allrounder that combines modern features with a nod to iconic design.
