Inputs for digital sources comprise asynchronous USB Type B, one coaxial and two optical, while digital outputs are provided in optical and coaxial flavours. SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity was launched in 1994 as the first major publication offering serious audio/video journalism on the Internet. It’s built around JFET (junction-gate field-effect transistor) devices and is quite a racy thing to be lurking in an affordable amp.

Built around an ESS Sabre32 ES9018K2M DAC, it offers one USB-B, two optical and one coaxial inputs alongside a Bluetooth connection that is aptX and AAC compatible. With a preamp section that optimizes music and a high-resolution onboard DAC utilizing the ES9018K2M chipset, supporting sampling rates up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256, this amplifier sets a new standard for audio excellence. Now, personally, I rather like it but then I like the Mission 770 and 700 with their equally oversized Mission logos and some of you have made it very clear that you think it’s garish.Additionally, it features a high-quality headphone amplifier for remarkable audio quality through high-speed output signal transition. Much like the now-established and equally class-leading Mission LX MKII series, the QX MKII series takes an already phenomenal loudspeaker solution but refines it, optimises it, and brings even more vibrancy, finesse, and class, through a process of evolution, not revolution. 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. The performance of the 778X could be described as dynamic, accurate and provides a wonderful open soundstage.

Against this, the headphone socket isn’t as sublimely talented but it’s more than up to the job of a spot of late night listening from time to time. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. British company Mission has launched its first new integrated amplifier in 40 years – the 778X, a substantial upgrade of 1983’s 778.

the Mission 778X does not discriminate when it comes to expression and enjoyment of your music reproduction. An Oppo Find X5 Pro has been used as a Bluetooth source and the headphone socket was tested with the Focal Clear MG cans. Because this uses ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, it should provide great dynamic range and low distortion. The Mission Cyrus One was a classic, but Mission quickly made a name for themselves for loudspeakers and concentrated their efforts to push the boundaries of speaker design. Both amplifiers share a similar design, and while each is badged differently the care over build quality assures me that this carries a lot of Audiolab in its DNA.

With its current-feedback design and high slew rate, a dynamicand detailed performance with all manner of headphones is assured. We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture. The built-in DAC, powered by the ES9018K2M chipset and 32-bit HyperStream architecture with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, provides immersive audio with sampling rates of up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256. Much effort has gone into the physical layout of the 778X’s circuitry, protecting the sensitive preamp section from noise interference.
