Peachtree Audio nova150 (Factory Recertified) Manuale Proprietario
Thank you for choosing nova! The nova project began as a simple idea with high
expectations: to build a new integrated amplifier platform that connects to every
type of popular Hi-Fi source, plays every type of file input into it, drives any
speaker, fills any room, looks great doing it, doesn’t cost a small fortune and,
most importantly, sounds better than anything we have made before. No easy
task, but our team accepted the challenge and set out on a mission to completely
re-imagine nova from the ground up. The team poured their heart and soul into
every detail, no stone was left unturned and we hope you enjoy using nova as
much as we enjoyed creating it!
The nova is several audio components in one. It’s a Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC), line-level preamplifier, phono preamplifier, headphone amplifier and power
amplifier all wrapped in an attractive and simple to use package. Each function
has been specifically designed to provide the ultimate listening experience,
regardless of the input source or the listening method. Each individual function
provides a listening experience that compares favorably with dedicated audio
components that only perform single functions and cost many times more than
the entire nova.
The nova DAC is a reference 32-bit/384kHz design that is capable of accepting all
of the major file formats currently available in the market today including PCM up
to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD up to 5.6MHz. This includes compressed audio,
uncompressed audio, high-resolution audio and ultra-high resolution audio. The
nova accepts them all! Built around the DAC chip is an extensive, multi-point,
regulated power supply that keeps the DAC chip operating optimally and
remaining faithful to the input signal, providing the most natural sounding and
musical DAC we have ever made!
The preamplifier in nova is a full analog design with extremely flexible input and
configuration capability. It accepts input from a computer, digital audio devices,
analog audio devices, mobile devices and even has a built-in phono preamplifier
for connecting a turntable. In addition, there is an optional Peachtree Wi-Fi
Module that can be installed to add a wireless connection. The two analog inputs
are user-switchable so they can be configured 4 different ways: 2 standard line-
level analog inputs, 1 Home Theater Bypass (HTB) input + 1 line-level input, 1
line-level input + 1 phono input, or 1 HTB input + 1 phono input. Your system,
your choice! The digital inputs include a user selectable feature called volume
control bypass that allows you to control overall system volume right from your
connected source device – essentially bypassing the preamplifier in the nova to
make it work like a stand-alone power amplifier. This is especially useful if you
enjoy using an application on your computer or mobile device to select your music
AND to control the volume level. And last, but not least, there is a loop feature
