Peachtree Audio nova 2.0 Integrated Amplifier Range Debuts
Peachtree Audio has chosen The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2020 to introduce its Nova 2.0 range of integrated amplifiers.
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.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
