Mission’s decision to add a dedicated CD transport to its compact 778 Series is not about looking backward. Most modern integrated and network amplifiers already include capable internal DACs and multiple digital inputs, making a dedicated CD transport the logical and efficient choice. The laser assembly and servo tuning are focused on stable operation and accurate data retrieval, which is the core requirement of any CD transport. In addition to standard CDs, the 778CDT supports CD R, CD RW, and data CDs. It completes the 778 Series with a properly executed CD transport that fits the system both physically and philosophically.
