USB & S/PDIF input - For the first time Synthesis has included an onboard 24Bit 192KHz Wolfson DAC for an extraordinary listening experience. In addition to this, there are four line inputs for you to utilise.
Utilising top of the range technology and componentry to produce an output transformer that uses a high grade Iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction & width, this newly designed custom transformer is unique to the A50. The same attention to detail follows through every other element of the design, even through to the valve selection process, which uses a computer-monitored machine to perfectly match tube pairings for an optimised balance.

The A50 Taurus is available with a black metal fascia, featuring a silver stripe, bringing an elegant industrial minimalism to the classic Italian design. In addition to this, the A50 Taurus features four CNC machined aluminium feet with an insert of natural rubber. The depth & form of these rubber feet has been calculated to minimise vibrations of the amplifier in isolation from its surroundings.
Synthesis A50 Taurus Integrated Amp with DAC
"A dynamic and yet subtle amplifier that has enough grunt to power difficult loudspeakers. Very low noise floor from which music just flows effortlessly. A real joy to have had in the system, whatever the music."
Synthesis A50 Taurus Integrated Amplifier Review
"This simply put is a stunning amplifier that packs a lot of punch for the money being asked here."
Henley Says...
With features such as CNC machining throughout and gold plated binding posts, it is clear that the Action Series from Synthesis are meticulously designed bits of kit with nothing left to chance. Valve amplifiers are traditionally tricky devices to get right, but Synthesis have all bases covered, from computer-selected tubes matched after a series of intricate tests, to chassis design that asists in the dissipation of unwanted resonances - with the Action series you not only get a fantastically performing component, you get peace of mind that your amp does what it needs to do, and does it to a truly high standard.
