ELECTRONICS > TUBE HYBRID STEREO RECEIVER

HIGH-END TUBE HYBRID RECEIVER WITH POWERFUL AMPLIFIER SECTION, BLUETOOTH® WITH aptX™

The MR 780 masterfully combines the classic warmth of tubes with the power and connectivity of modern amplifier technology. In the preamplifier section, ECC-81 tubes deliver the coveted rich, warm sound, while a high-performance transistor power amplifier with 100 watts per channel (4 Ω) provides powerful dynamics and control. This hybrid receiver combines emotion and performance at the highest level.

Equipped with a high-quality Wolfson DAC for conversion up to 192 kHz / 24 bit, a DAB+/FM tuner, Bluetooth® 4.0 with aptX™ as well as an MM phono input, the MR 780 is the ideal control center for demanding audiophiles. All of this is housed in a robust full-metal casing with a solid, brushed aluminum front, which also visually emphasizes quality and value.

The MR 780 features a robust full-metal casing with a refined brushed aluminum front and solid aluminum controls, combining durability with classic hi-fi aesthetics. A clear two-line text display with adjustable brightness ensures optimal readability. Stable, rubber-damped feet ensure vibration-free operation and preserve sound purity at the highest level.

OUR TECHNOLOGIES

HIGH-END HYBRID PREAMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY

The Magnat MR 780 is a high-quality hybrid stereo receiver that skillfully combines the warmth of classic tube technology with modern digital versatility. Its low-noise preamplifier section, equipped with two selected ECC-81 tubes, delivers a rich, natural sound – ideal for audiophiles who appreciate analog character without sacrificing contemporary connectivity.

The receiver offers comprehensive compatibility with analog and digital sources. Five RCA line inputs, a dedicated MM phono stage with subsonic filter for vinyl playback, and a 3.5mm front connector for portable devices are available. For digital audio signals, the MR 780 is equipped with a powerful Wolfson WM8740 DAC, two optical and two coaxial inputs, and USB Audio 2.0 for high-resolution playback up to 192 kHz / 24 bit. Integrated Bluetooth® 4.0 with aptX™ enables high-quality wireless streaming from compatible smartphones, tablets or laptops.

For private listening pleasure, a high-quality 6.3mm headphone output is provided, which also confidently drives high-impedance headphones. In addition, a level-constant record out is available, which allows for easy integration of external recording devices or amplifiers.

POWERFUL A/B AMPLIFICATION AND AUDIOPHILE POWER SUPPLY

At the heart of the Magnat MR 780 is a discretely built high-performance power amplifier that delivers outstanding dynamics and clarity across the entire frequency range. Each channel provides 100 watts of RMS power into 4 ohms, offering generous power reserves and precise control, even with demanding loudspeakers.

The power amplifier is supported by an elaborately designed power supply that uses a complex power supply architecture and individually stabilized supply voltages for each internal circuit. This minimizes mutual interference and ensures consistent performance under load. A shielded toroidal transformer provides clean, efficient power delivery and reduces electromagnetic interference.

To support high dynamic peaks and maintain stability during complex musical passages, the MR 780 is equipped with high-capacity filter and electrolytic capacitors. In addition, a separate standby power supply reduces energy consumption to a minimum when idle - a successful combination of performance and efficiency.

FM/DAB TUNER

The Magnat MR 780 is equipped with a fully integrated digital DAB/DAB+ tuner as well as an FM tuner, providing access to a wide selection of digital and analog radio stations. DAB/DAB+ ensures crystal-clear reception and access to current digital radio programs, while the FM tuner offers reliable performance for classic radio listening.

Thanks to RDS (Radio Data System) and radio text function, station names, music titles and program information are clearly displayed on the device's OLED display. For maximum convenience, 40 freely programmable station presets are available for DAB/DAB+ and FM, so favorite stations can be quickly accessed at any time.

An intuitive station search facilitates the finding of DAB programs, while the automatic scan function makes searching and storing FM stations quick and effortless.

 
 

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS

The Magnat MR 780 was developed with a clear focus on performance and durability and is housed in a robust full-metal casing that not only increases its lifespan but also underlines its high-quality appearance. The solid front panel made of brushed aluminum and the matching aluminum control elements convey a first-class tactile experience and emphasize its claim as a true high-end audio component.

Robust equipment feet with integrated rubber dampers ensure a secure stand and optimal decoupling, effectively reducing vibrations and resonances, thus contributing to clean sound reproduction.

The front features a two-line, high-contrast plain text display with excellent readability, whose brightness is adjustable in three stages, adapting to different lighting conditions. All functions of the MR 780 can be conveniently controlled via the included system remote control – for intuitive and comfortable operation.
