Mission 7000R (c. 1985)

The Mission 7000R, sometimes listed as the DAD-7000R, was a compact disc player from the mid-1980s. It had a wireless remote control and could store up to 20 programmed selections. The specs were competitive for the era. Frequency response was 2 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.3 dB, total harmonic distortion was 0.003% at 1 kHz, dynamic range was 96 dB, signal-to-noise ratio was 96 dB, and channel separation was 94 dB at 1 kHz.

The player has no standard rear-panel output jacks. It uses a fixed 3-foot cable instead, which Audio (December 1985, p.74) noted could cause installation problems and possibly sonic ones. Even so, the same review called the 7000R "one of the finest-sounding players" the reviewer had heard. It credited "magnificent, low-noise analog stages" and the oversampling and digital filtering in the D/A circuitry (Audio, December 1985, p.78). The review also noted perfect phase linearity. Documentation beyond this period review remains scarce.
