Product Overview

The Synthesis Roma 96DC+ merges traditional valve amplification with a carefully integrated digital section, offering a complete solution for modern high-fidelity systems.

Listening Experience

The Roma 96DC+ delivers a warm, spacious and emotionally immersive sound. Midrange reproduction is rich and lifelike, making vocals and acoustic instruments feel present and textured. Treble remains smooth and refined, while bass is controlled, tuneful and naturally weighted.

Digital playback benefits from excellent clarity and stability, maintaining the amplifier’s organic presentation while adding convenience and precision. Whether listening to high-resolution streams or physical media, the Roma 96DC+ prioritizes musical coherence over analytical sharpness.
