Roma 69DC
The Roma 69DC is a full feature DAC, designed to complement the Synthesis ROMA series, but well specified and designed enough to be at home in any premium listening environment. With its tube output stage it has a sweetness and musicality that other DACs may often struggle to achieve.

The Roma 69DC is built around an Asahi Kasei AK4495S DAC chip and features a dual-mono tube output, with a single ECC88 valve per-channel. This combination achieves a very low output impedance and an extremely large bandwidth. There is also an additional headphone output for personal listening. Here there is a dedicated high-fidelity driver for an incredibly natural sound performance that perfectly mirrors that achieved on the standard fixed outputs that connect to an amplifier.

The Roma 69DC is designed to become your digital hub, with two optical, two coaxial and a USB Type B (for PCM and DSD playback) input, all capable of handling high-resolution digital data streams.

To back up this impressive technical ability, the Roma 69DC 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 69DC is designed solely to get the best from your digital music. It will give you a fantastic sound stage and beautiful sound reproduction for years to come.

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.
