Product Summary
The Mission 778CDT is a compact CD transport designed for customers who still enjoy physical media and want a clean, focused digital source to partner with a DAC-equipped amplifier or external DAC. Styled to match the Mission 778X and 778S, it brings the same half-width retro-inspired design to CD playback while keeping the job simple: read the disc accurately and pass on a clean digital signal.
A big part of the 778CDT’s appeal is that it avoids unnecessary complication. Mission uses a dedicated transport mechanism with a precision servo control system, along with a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator master clock to reduce jitter and help deliver a stable SPDIF output. Dedicated low-noise supplies for key circuit sections further support signal integrity, making it a strong choice for customers who want a purposeful digital transport rather than an all-in-one disc player.
The 778CDT also adds useful flexibility beyond standard audio CDs. It can play CD, CD-R, CD-RW and data discs, and it also supports USB-HDD music playback for compatible local files. For customers who want a neat, affordable and properly hi-fi way to keep a CD collection active in a modern system, the Mission 778CDT is a very compelling choice.
