He is happiest when he’s tucked inside his studio spinning vinyl on his turntables, sitting at his desk drawing or in the kitchen cooking up a storm.

Well, like so many things going on in the audio industry at the moment, there is a bit of a backstory to this. If the circuitry that accompanies them is not of a sufficient standard, the resulting sound may appear hard and bright; treat them right, however, and the level of detail and musical expression these chips dig from the digital signal is captivating. To prove the point, Mission is promoting two package deals that combine the 778X with popular standmount models from its range, forming great-value, high-quality audio systems. Material used has been FLAC, AIFF, DSD, Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify with some vinyl getting a look in too.
