Roma 14DC+
The Roma 14DC+ is a high-quality CD player complete with a selection of extra digital inputs and a tube-based output stage.

With an aesthetic that matches the rest of the ROMA series, this sleek and stylish unit is great as a stand-alone source or when used as part of a full Synthesis system. Careful consideration has been taken throughout the design to ensure its sleek good looks are matched by an incredible sound stage and perfect sound reproduction.

The CD player features a TEAC mechanism designed specifically for audio reproduction, extracting as much information as possible from a playing disc. The quality tray load mechanism is coupled with a clear and intuitive user interface to make the Roma 14DC+ effortless in day-to-day use. The DAC section is then built around the high-quality Asahi Kasei AK4495S to handle perfect conversion for an accurate musical performance.

The Roma 14DC+ is made even more appealing by the addition of multiple inputs for other digital sources, allowing the CD player to function as a complete digital hub for your high-end system. With optical, coaxial, and USB inputs capable of handling high resolution conversion, now your digital sources can have one consistent sonic presentation regardless of what they are. The USB input is even capable of playing files up-to 32-bit / 384kHz PCM and DSD up to 5.6 MHz to give you staggering sound quality that will mean you can listen to your audio the way it was intended. With one ECC88 tube per channel, this is a perfect match with the DAC’s output, obtaining a very low output impedance and extremely large bandwidth.

To back up this impressive technical ability, the Roma 14DC+ design has an oversized shielded power transformer to reduce interference and noise, giving you a clean and clear sound for the best possible listening experience. An array high grade metalized polypropylene capacitors are also used to control the audio signal circuits. Everything in this unit is then run by a multi-stage fully regulated power supply to make this fabulous unit as reliable and consistent as possible.

The Roma 14DC+ will blow you away with every listen and will only continue to impress the longer it is used. This breath-taking tube CD player will be the focal point of any system and is able to produce stunning sound quality that will keep you listening for hours.

The Roma Series, like the rest of the Synthesis range, offers something quite different… Advanced valve technology, for all that warmth and beautiful sonic expression you hope for, but without the limitations of low power amplifiers and complex system matching. The Roma 510 AC, for example, is compatible with a wide-range of speakers thanks to its beefy 80W output at 6Ω, yet still gives you the core of what you hope for from a valve amplifier. Elsewhere in the range there are some amazing source devices, meaning it’s easy to build a very impressive system using only Roma products, all at a very competitive price.
