The Mission 778CDT CD Transport was a natural completion of the 778 Series. This CD transport works hand in hand with the very popular 778X Integrated Amplifier and the 778S Streamer as a dedicated digital source for CD music playback. Mission’s approach has always been to strip away unnecessary complexity and focus on what really matters–faithful musical reproduction.
Mission 778CDT CD Transport
The Mission 778X marked the brand’s return to integrated amplification after more than three decades. A compact, powerful amp that redefined expectations at its price point. Built on that momentum. The 778CDT brings the same philosophy and styling to CD playback: no compromise, no clutter, just the music.
Mission has long been known for products that overdeliver — loudspeakers and electronics that combine acoustic excellence, timeless design, and remarkable value. The 778CDT proudly carries that torch forward.
Seamless Intergration
Styled to perfectly complement the 778X Integrated Amplifier and 778S Network Streamer. The 778CDT completes the 778 Series as its dedicated CD transport — a digital-first device designed for audio purity and seamless system integration.
The 778CDT fundamentally revolves around a custom CD transport mechanism and an accurately controlled servo system. These two components work together to provide stable disc rotation, excellent tracking, and high-standard error correction.
Crystal Oscillator (TCXO)
A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) is the main clock that helps to significantly lower the jitter and thus provide an immaculate SPDIF output to your DAC.
As one would expect from Mission, the design discards unwarranted complications. The CD servo layout is specifically designed to be simple, and power supplies dedicated to different parts help to isolate the main functions. The transport, laser, decoder, and master clock — thus lowering the noise.
Instead of allowing interference from one part to the other at the circuit level. The 778CDT manages to have the output signal clean, stable, and a true representation of the source.
Both coaxial and optical SPDIF digital output options are available. Which have been designed to work very well with the internal DAC of the 778X, or any other DAC system of good quality.
High Resolution Digital File Format
Along with USB-HDD playback, 778CDT can handle different high-resolution digital file formats that are compatible with the device’s clocking system and the very low-noise output architecture that are also utilized for CD playback.
Therefore, 778CDT serves the dual purpose of being a digital transport for physical media and a player for music files stored locally.
Moreover, like all other Mission products, 778CDT is not just a mere set of specifications. What truly counts is that it emotionally brings music to the listener. That it makes things clear. That it lasts forever.
