Hailing from Matthews, North Carolina, USA, Peachtree Audio proudly plants its claim to being there at the beginning of 'computer audio' with its 2007 Decco. The Peachtree Audio Decco not only sported "an aluminium front panel and rounded wood case finished with beautiful veneers" the class A/B power amplifier also boasted a USB input with built-in DAC to accept a direct connection from a Mac or PC.
Peachtree Audio is now ready to introduce its nova 2.0 range of integrated amplifiers.
Peachtree nova 300
The nova 300 gets an ESS Reference 9018K2M Sabre DAC enabling it to process 32-Bit/384kHz PCM and 5.6MHz DSD (double-DSD) which is fed to the latest generation of ICEpower amplification which is good for 300 watts per channel. There is an asynchronous USB, Coax and two Optical inputs with asynchronous iOS input for direct digital input from Apple Lightning devices. There's even a moving magnet phono input for more analogue action.
To keep things private, there is a discrete, high-output, custom-designed headphone amplifier.
Additionally, there is also the promise of a Wi-Fi module to be announced later.
Peachtree nova 500
The nova500 ups the stakes with a 500 watts per channel power amplifier, higher grade ESS 9028 PRO Sabre DAC with up to 32-Bit/384kHz PCM and 5.6MHz DSD resolution as well as fully differential (balanced) audio circuitry from the digital inputs to the output. You still get the custom headphone amp and DyNEC iOS input for audio streaming from Apple Lightning devices as well as asynchronous USB, coaxial, a pair of optical digital inputs and an MM phono input.
