Designed as the perfect partner to the 778X Integrated Amplifier and 778S Network Streamer, it completes the 778 Series with a dedicated transport that focuses on timing accuracy, signal stability, and musical honesty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than adding unnecessary processing, the 778CDT concentrates on doing one job exceptionally well: extracting digital audio from your discs and files with precision and passing it cleanly to your chosen DAC. The result is a refined, confident sound that highlights detail, depth, and emotional impact without drawing attention to the technology behind it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated CD Transport Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Mission 778CDT is built as a true transport, with no internal digital-to-analogue conversion. This allows you to pair it with your preferred external DAC or compatible amplifier for a system that reflects your own listening priorities. Its compact footprint and clean front panel styling mirror the rest of the 778 range, making it an ideal choice for a visually cohesive hi-fi stack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupport for CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and data discs ensures wide compatibility, whether you are playing commercial releases or personal recordings.
