Peachtree Audio nova300 Integrated Amplifier with Built-in DAC Pre-owned with one year warranty - $1099 Finish: Gloss Ebony Mocha Original Price: $1999 ...the Nova 300 is a flat out steal for all the audio capabilities it delivers. nova300 - A New Generation ESS Reference 9018K2M Sabre DAC 32-Bit/384kHz PCM and 5.6MHz DSD (double-DSD) compatibility New generation ICEPower amplification - 300 watts per channel @ 8Ohm 450 watts per channel @ 4Ohm Extensive internal grounding Designed by a world-class engineering team Asynchronous USB, Coax and (2) Optical inputs Asynchronous iOS input for direct digital input from Apple Lightning devices - with exclusive Peachtree DyNEC (Dynamic-Noise Elimination Circuit) technology Phono (MM) input Home Theater Bypass Loop feature to add an external tube buffer, EQ or other processor into the signal path Pre-Out for use as preamp/DAC or with subwoofer Discrete custom-designed headphone amplifier Made in North America Reference DAC The nova300 utilizes the highly regarded ES9018K2M SABRE32 Reference DAC. The 9018 DAC is capable of accepting an extremely wide range of inputs all the way up to 32-Bit/384kHz PCM and 5.6MHz DSD (double-DSD). The DAC exhibits exemplary dynamic range, jitter elimination and low noise characteristics to satisfy even the most demanding listeners. A New Generation of Power Amplification The nova300 incorporates the latest generation of ICEPower amplification - with an impressive 300 watts per channel. The amplifier utilizes ICEpowers innovative and patented Hybrid Controlled Oscillation Modulator (HCOM) feedback and control techniques to ensure high output, wide bandwidth, low noise, robust stability and a simplified overall design. This amplifier technology is extremely powerful, dynamic, quiet and most importantly... musical. Silent and Dynamic The nova300 utilizes an extensive power supply and grounding design to ensure the noise floor is pushed as far down as possible to allow the music to shine through. Our engineers spent hours upon hours determining the optimal power supply filtering and grounding scheme to prevent any unwanted noise from finding its way into the signal path. As a result, the nova300 achieves a remarkable dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio. iOS Input - Introducing DyNEC (Dynamic Noise Elimination Circuit) for iPhone/iPad The nova300 includes a dedicated asynchronous USB connection on the rear panel that provides a direct digital wired connection for Apple Lightning-equipped devices. Simply use the cable that came with your iPhone or iPad and enjoy your music transformed by the ESS SABRE32 Reference DAC and the superior sonic performance of the nova! With DyNEC and an asynchronous connection, Peachtrees dedicated iOS input lets you hear your music with all the clarity, dynamics and emotion the artist intended. And . . . the new metal-faced Peachtree remote controls basic playback functions like FF/RR and pause, so you can just sit back and enjoy! DyNEC is a Peachtree exclusive. Spin Your Vinyl The nova300 includes a moving magnet (MM) phono input for direct connection of a turntable - a custom designed circuit that accommodates a wide range of MM cartridge outputs. With the nova300 you no longer need an external phono preamp unless you are using a lower output moving coil cartridge. In that case, the internal phono preamp in the nova300 can be bypassed, allowing the phono input to accept line-level signals from a dedicated phono preamp or any other line-level device. Home Theater Bypass (HTB) This is one of our most requested features. HTB allows for easy integration with a multi-channel preamp/processor or audio/video receiver (AVR) so that the power amplifier in the nova300 drives the front left and right speakers for stereo and multi-channel listening. The nova300 amplifier section is likely more powerful and better sounding than any AVR available today - and relieving the AVR from driving the front left and right speakers makes it MUCH easier for the AVR to drive the center and surround speakers. When listening to stereo music the nova300 becomes your control center, and you can enjoy the full benefit of its reference DAC and ultra-low-noise circuitry. If the HTB input isnt needed it can be configured as a standard analog line-level input. Getting LOOP-y The nova300 includes an extremely useful LOOP (output/input) feature, allowing you to add an external equalizer or other processor into the signal path. The LOOP button on the remote control engages and disengages the loop audio path utilizing high-performance relays. Do you want to experiment with room correction? No problem. Wire your room EQ component into the nova300 and use the LOOP button on the remote control to easily A-B between correction in/correction out. Volume Control Bypass The nova300 provides a Volume Control Bypass feature on its digital inputs which puts the nova300 into a power amp mode. This is useful if you have a connected source with its own volume control. Have a favorite device or app with a volume slider built right into the interface? Simply bypass the nova300 volume control for that input and use the app slider instead. Optical, Coax and USB Inputs The nova300 offers a standard suite of digital audio inputs, including asynchronous USB for a computer. In addition, there is one coaxial S/PDIF input and two optical inputs that accommodate signals up to 24-Bit/192kHz, assuming the connected device can output those signals. If it cant, no worries; use your computer instead to output your high-res files to the nova300s asynchronous USB input. Discrete Headphone Amp Headphone fans will love the headphone amplifier in the nova300. It is a fully-discrete power amplifier circuit (not a chip) that is designed for sheer musicality and an ultra-low noise floor. When you plug headphones in, the speakers and preamp outputs are automatically muted and the volume knob becomes a dedicated headphone volume controller. Unplug the headphones, and the system reverts back to being an integrated amplifier. Note: The nova300s headphone amplifier is specifically designed to drive headphones with impedance ratings in the 50-300 ohm range. It was not designed to support headphones with an impedance below 50 ohms. 600 ohm headphones will lower the output capability significantly. Made in North America The nova300 is designed and built in North America. The circuit boards are built, the amplifiers assembled and fully tested, then inspected at an ISO 9001:2008, 13485:2003 (Medical Devices) and MFi Certified Facility in Canada. Amplifiers are then shipped to our facility in North Carolina where the wooden case is installed and the final product inspected again. Building this product in North America was a coordinated team effort and a significant milestone in Peachtrees history. We are proud that the nova300 is designed and built in North America! Reviews No matter what was going into the amplifier, or what we were using to listen to it, it never gave anything but a brilliant performance. Its not just that it could go loud when we asked it to. That was a given. Its that the sound was absolutely extraordinary. The nova300 was truly in a league of its own. I thought the nova300 was going to be a brute, with its added power, but it turns out this thing has finesse as well. Unexpected finesse. ...the nova300 is the homecoming king, the captain of the team, and the president of the senior class, rolled up into one item. Power, control, and finesse. This is the nova you want. Digital Audio Review gives the DAR Knock Out Award to the powerfully persuasive Peachtree nova300 I doubt that theres a loudspeaker on the planet that this Peachtree wont drive with sure-footed authority. Peachtrees own nova150 aside, I also doubt that theres an integrated amplifier out there with as much functionality for as few dollars. The nova300 is an exceptional beast. nova300 Specifications
