Mission 778S Wireless Network Streamer

Product Summary

The Mission 778X is a compact integrated amplifier designed for customers who want proper hi-fi flexibility and musical performance in a smaller, more affordable chassis. Inspired by the original Mission 778, it combines classic styling with modern connectivity, making it a strong choice for customers who want one neat amplifier that can handle vinyl, digital sources, Bluetooth streaming and headphones without dominating the room.

A big part of the 778X’s appeal is how much it offers for its size. With 45 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 65 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms, it has enough drive for a wide range of sensible speaker pairings, while the built-in ESS Sabre DAC, moving magnet phono stage and Bluetooth 5.0 support make it easy to build a complete modern music system around one box. That makes it especially attractive for customers who want strong everyday usability without losing the feel of a dedicated hi-fi amplifier.

The 778X is also designed to feel more special than many entry-level amplifiers. Its compact retro-inspired casework, large tactile controls and LED level indicators give it real character, while the inclusion of pre-out, digital outputs and a dedicated headphone stage adds welcome flexibility as your system develops. For customers who want a stylish, feature-packed integrated amplifier with a genuinely useful mix of analogue and digital capability, the Mission 778X is a very compelling choice.
