STEREO BASICS
Syn is an excellent remote control DAC/
preamp for serious stereo listening. With
an ESS DAC, discrete main channels, and
high-quality parts throughout (including
Alps potentiometers, thin-lm resistors,
and lm capacitors), it provides excep-
tional all-in-one performance. You can use
Syn in a dedicated listening room, media
room, living room, or anywhere you want
great sound.
In other words, if you don’t want to use the
surround part of Syn, you don’t have to!
Or...being evil, you can, and discover how
much stereo can be augmented by ambi-
ence.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. At least 2 speakers (but maybe 4 or 5).
Main Left and Right. These are the main
stereo speakers that go in front of you.
Surround Left and Right. These go behind
the listening area to provide ambience.
Subwoofer. This brings the boom. If you
need it. If you want it. Your choice. No
pressure.
2. Amps for your speakers. Or powered
speakers. Syn provides line-level output,
not speaker-level output. So you need
amplication.
3. Digital or analog sources. Connect a
streamer or computer via USB, add a TV
or CD player via optical, choose analog
in from your turntable...or use all 3. Syn
works with any digital or analog stereo
source.
