Peachtree Audio nova220 SE Integrated Amplifier with Built-in DAC (High Gloss Black)
The nova220SE benefits from trickle down technology by using the discrete Class-A preamp stage from Peachtree's top-of-the-line Grand Pre X-1. With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 100dB, the nova220SE reveals micro-detail like decay, texture and the acoustics of the recording space. This level of detail creates an addictive listening experience that never gets harsh or bright. The nova220SE makes it simple to enjoy your music, from Pandora to high resolution downloads, with uncompromising quality. With an amplifier that delivers up to 350 watts per channel at 4 ohms, the nova220SE drives any loudspeaker with ease. The nova220SE features a built-in 24/192 DAC that upgrades any digital source - from a computer to a Sonos Connect to an Apple TV. Connect your turntable (requires phono preamp) or SACD player to the pure analog AUX input. Headphones sound better than ever with the built-in headphone amp, which delivers ten times more power than the typical headphone output. The nova220SE includes Peachtree's signature triode tube buffer, which can be engaged to soften bright recordings and create a more natural sound. The preamp delivers a balanced signal to the internal amplifier for noise-free sound. The preamp also drives a set of RCA pre outs to connect to an external power amp or powered subwoofer. The nova220SE has a distinct industrial design. Its high gloss black cabinet is made from wood sourced from sustainable resources certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The front panel is made from thick six-millimeter brushed aluminum and features soft-touch power and input buttons with blue LED indicators. A glass window gives a view of the triode tube, which is illuminated by a blue LED when engaged. Peachtree's large metal volume knob offers a perfectly balanced feel, a simple touch that makes the nova220SE a pleasure to use. A full-featured remote control is also included.
