Menu Options

Filter

The Mission 778S uses the ESS ES9038Q2M Sabre DAC and allows for detailed tuning of the digital audio streaming. The DAC reconstruction filter can be significant in refining the sound of your system, according to your taste, source and media. Linear Phase (Slow Roll-Off) is the default setting, but you may prefer any of the filter options. We recommend experimenting for your own preference.

• Linear Phase (Slow Roll-Off): A low group delay and symmetrical input response with less ringing than Linear-phase fast roll-off, it offers punchier bass than "Linear-phase fast roll-off, with clean highs. (Default)
• Linear Phase (Fast Roll-Off): This is the most common filter with a clean overall! suppression and excellent rejection, best for music with large transients. Provides crisp, clean highs.
• Minimum Phase (Fast Roll-Off): This offers minimal pre-ringing. It is usually preferred for imaging and sound stages. It offers no aliasing in the frequency domain and stronger bass than Linear Phase, with clean highs.
• Minimum Phase (Slow Roll-Off): A Non-Symmetrical filter designed to minimise pre-ringing. It offers a strong punchy bass with a good transient attack.
• Hybrid: This is the combination of Linear-phase' and Minimum-phase'. It offers a fast transient attack, strong punchy bass and crisp highs.

Note: You will need to disable ‘Upsampling’ in order to utilise the filter options
