Mission's first-ever music streamer is a versatile, half-width design that promises “heavenly sound” | What Hi-Fi?

Will cost $1,699. The streamer is also able to upsample all PCM streams to 352.8kHz or 384kHz before converting to analogue. I love the silver version looks but there's also a black edition.
