Mission 778X Integrated Amplifier Over the past 45 years, Mission has become known for loudspeakers that break the norms of price, technology, and design. However, in its storied history, Mission was also responsible for some equally prolific hi-fi electronics.
Thus, the Mission 778X is a revision of a classic Mission amplifier concept that was the Mission 778: an affordable integrated amplifier that offered simplicity in operation but superior speaker-driving performance.
Today's Mission 778X maintains the influence of simple operation, great controls, and a multitude of inputs. It's a compact '80s-inspired integrated amplifier that's fully equipped to meet the demands of modern music lovers, from vinyl fans to digital streamers. Modern twists like LED level indicators and comprehensive connectivity options make the 778X a truly contemporary integrated amplifier. Delivering a true 65 watts (@4 ohms) of power through a completely modern and refined signal path, with standards similar to the exemplary standards Mission loudspeakers are developed to.
The phono stage is based on a JFET-based circuit with precise RIAA equalization. It is optimized for MM cartridges, and as such is a high-quality, low-noise input that eliminates the need for an additional phono preamp.
Complementing the typical RCA line inputs are digital and coaxial connection options and a built-in Bluetooth receiver with an aptX and AAC codec, meaning the 778X delivers CD performance over a wireless Bluetooth connection. The convenience of streaming music from smart devices like phones, tablets, or PCs has never sounded so good!
That's not all in terms of digital music facilitation. The 778X is also equipped with a high-performance ESS ES9018K2M reference chip with ESS Technology's 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. In the world of digital music files, this means the 778X offers class-leading ultra-low noise digital audio file compatibility, with up to 384 kHz (PCM) and DSD256 sampling rates.
Equal in performance to stand-alone headphone amplifiers, regardless of the price class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all types of headphones.
