About this deal

Inside is a hi-res DAC based around the ES9018K2M chipset from the Sabre32 Reference family. Because this uses ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, it should provide great dynamic range and low distortion. Hi-res PCM files are supported up to 32-bit/384kHz, and DSD to 11.2 MHz (DSD256). Streaming options include AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and Bluetooth 5.0. Cambridge’s proprietary StreamMagic streaming module also lies at the MXN10’s heart – which, with the accompanying app, acts as a control centre for streaming from your smartphone. The Fyne Audio Vintage Five were a wonderful surprise hit with the What Hi-Fi? team at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2023 in February.

Versatility: These floor-standing speakers are versatile and can be integrated into a variety of audio systems. They work well with a range of amplifiers, offering compatibility with different setups. Naim is another big-name British hi-fi brand celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. And to do so it’s treating us, and hi-fi fans in general, to the new NSC 222 streaming preamp and NAP 250 power amp. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price - class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types. Digital sources connected through the USB, coaxial, optical inputs and Bluetooth feed into the 778X’s DAC based on the ES9018K2M chipset from the Sabre32 Reference family. The DAC enables the amplifier to access ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator to deliver outstanding sound and ultra-low distortion. Hi-res PCM is supported to 32-bit/384kHz, alongside DSD to 11.2 MHz (DSD256).

Video Review

HDMI aARC massively opens up your use cases and therefore increases your potential market too: so you would think the extra cost to produce could be cancelled out at least partially by the potential economies of scale. audiophile σχεδίαση σε προσιτή τιμή, αυτά είναι τα όπλα του. Αλλά δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι «σκέτος» λόγω εποχής, έτσι συγκεντρώνει μια σειρά από απαραίτητες λειτουργίες που πλέον ζητάει το ευρύ κοινό. Rega unveiled the Naia turntable at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February, and since we saw it at the show we’ve struggled to contain our excitement. The 778X amplifier looks similar to the Cyrus range of amps but this is the first purely ... [+] Mission-branded amp in 40 years. Mission The 778X is also equipped with a high-performance ESS ES9018K2M Reference chip with ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator; the internal DAC can decode up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256.

Two rotary controls on the front of the unit adjust source selection and volume, while the white LEDs surrounding them show your current settings. There are also a power button, IR sensor and 6.3mm headphone port on the front. Sharper eyes not thrown off by the huge Mission logo on the top plate will notice the similarity between the 778X’s chassis (and power button) and the Audiolab 6000A’s chassis (and power button). That could be because Mission and Audiolab are owned by the same parent company: China’s IAG. Sound Quality: Rega is renowned for its commitment to high-quality audio, and the Brio is no exception. It offers transparent and dynamic sound, with a detailed presentation that brings your music to life. The amplifier’s sonic clarity makes it an excellent match for high-end speakers like the Mission 778X.The front of the amp sports a pair of rotary controls – one for source selection, the other for volume – surrounded by white LEDs to show current status. Between these are the IR sensor, power button and 6.3mm headphone output. Digital sources connected through the USB, coaxial and optical inputs, or paired via Bluetooth, are served by the 778X’s built-in DAC. This is based around the ES9018K2M chipset from the Sabre32 Reference family, enabling the amp to benefit from ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. Mission claims that hi-res PCM is supported to 32-bit/384kHz, alongside up to DSD256. Mission γιόρτασε τα 45 χρόνια από την ίδρυσή της, προσθέτοντας στον στόλο της δύο εξαιρετικά ηχεία βάσης-αναβιώσεις θρυλικών μοντέλων του παρελθόντος. LM. Σημαντική είναι η παρουσία της βασισμένης στο XMOS εισόδου USB-B που επιτρέπει υψηλές αναλύσεις, ενώ η οπτική του υποστηρίζει τα 192KHz. Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free.

In the vast majority of cases we will not be able to install the cabinet doors to built-in laundry products as the fittings very rarely match up. We will try our best however if we are unable to do this we will still install connect to plumbing and put the appliance in situ.

Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price- class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.And being a bargain it feels a bit churlish to criticise it, but now so many amps are bundling in built-in DACs, I would like to see HDMI eARC inputs pretty much as standard on amps these days. Chapeau to those who do already. Thus, the Mission 778X is a revisit of a classic Mission amplifier concept that was the Mission 778 – an affordable integrated amplifier that offered simplicity in operation but over-performed in the driving of loudspeakers.

The first reason that we’re especially excited is that it shares so much of the same DNA as its more expensive sibling and comes with a few firsts for the company. Highlights include that the Naia's skeletal plinth is now made out of carbon fibre – a first for Rega. The RB titanium tonearm is also new.

PH15, PH16, PH17, PH18, PH19, PH20, PH21, PH22, PH23, PH24, PH25, PH26, PH27, PH28, PH29, PH30, PH31, PH32, PH33, PH34, PH35, PH36, PH37, PH38, PH39, PH40, PH41, PH42, PH43, PH44, PH45, PH46, PH47, PH48, PH49, PH50 So, it’s appropriate now. I can pair the new Mission integrated amp, the 778x, with my beloved B&W 685. Two brands that I have a lot of love for coming together to make musical magic. A speaker that sounds great no matter what I connect it to and a full-featured, half-width amp ready to drive them.
