Mission 778S
Music Streamer

Wireless Music Streamer

The Mission 778S is Mission’s first wireless music streamer — designed as the perfect digital partner for the acclaimed 778X integrated amplifier.

Bringing seamless, high-quality streaming to modern music lovers, the 778S combines intuitive app control, flexible connectivity, and audiophile-grade engineering — all housed in the same elegant, compact half-width design and striking retro form that made the 778X a modern classic.

The 778S is a complete, future-ready streaming hub—delivering music with the purity and presence Mission is renowned for.

778 Series

The 778X marked Mission’s return to integrated amplification after more than three decades, setting a new benchmark for compact, high-value hi-fi electronics.

Now, the 778S completes the system — delivering modern streaming performance with the same musical priorities, visual harmony, and attention to engineering detail. Designed specifically for 778X owners and contemporary hi-fi systems, the 778S becomes the streaming soul of your setup.

Mission has long earned its reputation through loudspeakers that defy expectations — delivering exceptional sound, re?ned design, and extraordinary value. In that same spirit, the 778 series revives a beloved Mission concept, blending vintage aesthetics with forward-thinking performance.

Streaming Platform & Control

As with any network audio device, the streaming platform’s stability and ?delity are paramount. With the 778S, beneath the Mission styling lies a platform developed in collaboration with Silent Angel, maestros in high-end digital audio streaming. Powered by a custom implementation of the Silent Angel streaming engine — and optimised by Mission engineers — the 778S delivers superior ?delity, rock-solid stability, and remarkable versatility.

Engineering & Performance

At its heart, the 778S features the ESS Technology ES9038Q2M Reference DAC, employing 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology for ultra-low noise and exceptional signal integrity.

All incoming audio is precision upsampled to 352.8kHz or 384kHz — pushing digital artefacts beyond the audible spectrum and allowing the DAC to operate in its optimal linear range. The result is cleaner transients, greater dynamic nuance, and a more natural soundstage.

Music gains space, texture, and presence — not through excess processing, but through careful engineering.

Users can override the upsampling facility and apply one of five DAC reconstruction filters to fine-tune the sound to their taste. These ‘sonic tailoring’ options are especially useful given the variable quality of digital audio formats and streaming services.

Connectivity & Flexibility

To support a wide range of systems and preferences, the 778S offers both digital (USB Audio, SPDIF coaxial, optical) and analogue outputs. Whether paired with the 778X, a standalone DAC, powered speakers, or integrated amp, the 778S adapts to any setup with elegance and ease.

Analogue outputs unlock the full potential of high-resolution formats like DSD, bypassing the sample rate limitations often found in digital-only connections such as SPDIF. The result is pure, uncompromised sound — exactly as the DAC was designed to deliver.
