Mission 778s netwerkspeler + dac – zwart deze mission 778s netwerkspeler is verkrijgbaar in uitstekende staat. Nu scherp geprijsd. De mission 778s is een veelzijdige netwerkspeler met ingebouwde dac,
At €549, this Mission 778S Netwerkspeler + DAC is priced well above the typical used market, sitting nearly double the median of €176 and far beyond the 75th percentile of €336 from 88 recent comparable EUR listings. For this price, a buyer could easily secure a newer or more versatile network streamer with similar DAC quality, making this listing ambitious unless it includes rare extras or pristine original-owner condition.
That said, the 778S is a well-regarded unit built around the respected ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M 32-bit DAC, offering high-resolution upsampling to 384kHz, five selectable reconstruction filters, and full streaming support including Roon, AirPlay 2, and major services like Tidal and Qobuz. It delivers balanced XLR and RCA analog outputs, plus digital outs and a headphone jack, making it a flexible centerpiece for a modern hi-fi setup. If this listing is in clean, original condition with all cables and the app working, it’s still a solid buy for enthusiasts who value its specific sound and feature set, but the price demands confidence in its condition.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Mission Electronics, a British hi-fi icon, was founded in 1977 by Farad Azima in the UK, rapidly emerging as a pioneer in acoustic engineering. Azima, a former audio importer and distributor, infused the brand with innovative drive, launching the revolutionary Mission 770 loudspeaker in 1978—the world's first with a commercial polypropylene bass unit. This debut set benchmarks for clarity and bass response, propelling Mission to prominence amid the golden era of British hi-fi.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across sectors, from seminal 1970s and 1980s models like the 770 to high-end masterpieces such as the 2001 Pilastro, Elegante, and SX series. Under Peter Comeau's acoustic leadership since 1999, Mission has expanded into hi-fi electronics, including amplifiers and home cinema systems, while maintaining an engineering-first ethos. Now part of the International Audio Group since 2005, with production in Shenzhen, it leverages advanced manufacturing for components like cables and turntable ancillaries, though speakers remain its core strength.
Mission holds mid-to-high-end status, revered by discerning buyers for award-winning performance—What Hi-Fi? Best Loudspeaker (2000, 2001), EISA Speaker of the Year (2001, 2003)—and timeless appeal. A management buyout refined its retail focus, positioning it as a reliable benchmark against pricier rivals, blending heritage innovation with accessible excellence for serious audiophiles.
