Peachtree Decco 65 Integrated Amplifier and DAC.  Gloss black, condition is 8.5/10 only because of a couple of very small (and hard to photograph) surface scratches, hard to see from greater than 1 foot away.  Fully tested and audio quality and functionality are as new.  Unit includes remote, owners manual, power cord, and CD with DAC driver.  Unit is double boxed in original factory packaging.  Please see my 13+ years and hundreds of 100% positive feedback transactions.  I ship the same day payment is received.  Price includes PayPal fees, shipping, insurance, everything to your door.

THD+noise percentage in the Peachtree's output varied with power into 8 and 4 ohms, respectively. Specified as giving a maximum power of 65Wpc into 8 ohms (18.1dBW) or 95Wpc into 4 ohms (16.8dBW), the decco65 is shown by these graphs as clipping at 90Wpc into 8 ohms (19.5dBW) and at 120Wpc into 4 ohms (17.8dBW). (Clipping is defined to be when THD+N reaches 1%.)

"This is it…this is the kind of sound some people spend tons of money and their entire lives seeking to achieve. Yet, here it is, right in front of us... it looks gorgeous and, most importantly, it sounds gorgeous playing back everything from crappy 128k MP3’s downloaded from Napster in 1998, to advanced, high-res FLAC files from sites like HDtracks ...it effortlessly displays detail, is melodically and harmonically faithful, and it is a beautiful piece to show off." - Caleb Denison DIGITAL TRENDS

Simplicity = Performance

The only thing left to add to the decco65 is your computer or streamer and speakers. Simple and elegant for the way youlisten. The decco65 has the inputs you really need for sources you use. Few are “analog” today, yet most integrated amplifiers on the market support analog only. The decco65 was designed to enhance any digital source, from mp3 to full 24/192 on your computer to the Apple TV, Sonos, music servers, internet radio or whatever source you choose.

The Reasons It Sounds So Good

• The ESS Sabre Digital to Analog Converter is widely recognized as the world’s best DAC when dealing with hostile digital components like computers and streamers.
• The 24/192 Asynchronous USB Input provides the best possible processing from this port and furthers the efforts of the ESS Sabre DAC.
• Galvanic Isolation Typically reserved for more expensive DAC circuits, galvanic isolation prevents electrical noise from entering the DAC board on all grounded digital inputs.
• The Tube Buffer uses a stereo triode 6N1P to smooth the harsh digital edge found in poor recordings and compressed audio.
• The Amplifier uses the same technology found in very expensive premium amplifiers.
• The Headphone Amp switches the speakers off when your headphones are inserted, so even when a quiet environment is required, you can still fill your head with lush high resolution music.

Digital to Analog Converter

The ESS Sabre Digital to Analog Converter is widely recognized as the worldʼs best DAC when dealing with hostile digital components like computers and streamers. Jitter is all but eliminated leaving a beautiful digital canvas as a base. The art of this DAC comes in with the hundreds of additional parts and multiple power supplies designed around the ESS chip that work in unison to produce the Peachtree sonic signature.

Real-world Performance

The 24/192 Asynchronous USB Input provides the best possible processing from this port and furthers the efforts of the ESS Sabre DAC. Asynchronous communication allows a high precision clock inside the decco65 to control the timing of the bitstream from the computer to the DAC. USB implementation is one of the more difficult tasks in the real world of computer audio.

Galvanic Isolation Typically reserved for more expensive DAC circuits, galvanic isolation prevents electrical noise from entering the DAC board on all grounded digital inputs. Any contamination due to the switching power supply, multiple ground points, and high speed processing is isolated from the DAC so nothing but pure 1ʼs and 0ʼs reach the DAC circuit.

The Tube Buffer uses a stereo triode 6N1P to smooth the harsh digital edge found in poor recordings and compressed audio. It can be switched on or off from the remote control to match your preference at any given time. We find it especially good for Pandora, Spotify and other cloud-based listening.

Beautifully Amplified

The Amplifier section of the decco65 uses the same technology found in very expensive premium amplifiers. This high performance Class D design has the ability to drive 65 watts per channel into 8Ω and 95 watts per channel into 4Ω with a very natural sound. The decco65 has the sonic signature of a great A/B amp with the power efficiency of Class D. Its combination of low distortion, high bandwidth, and energy efficiency makes it the ideal partner to the decco65 digital front end and hybrid tube preamp.

Just You and Your Music

The Headphone Amp in the decco65 switches the speakers off when your headphones are inserted, so even when a quiet environment is required, you can still fill your head with lush high-resolution music. The headphone output runs through the tube stage so you can enjoy that smooth tube sound in solitude.

"This is it…this is the kind of sound some people spend tons of money and their entire lives seeking to achieve. Yet, here it is, right in front of us..."

"Spotify linked through a Sqeezebox, Mac, or PC into a device like the decco65 is a match made in heaven and so versatile."

"This is seriously good, seriously listenable digital sound, wedded to an amplifier that comes closer than most to being the electronic equivalent of a Mini Cooper: It's nearly impossible to use without smiling."

"Peachtree Audio's decco65 is among the most recommendable affordable-perfectionist products I've had the pleasure of using."

"The Decco65 is an amalgamation of ease-of-use and value for money. You just can’t go wrong when you connect the Decco65 to any speaker;"
