Layman -thanks, that is helpful. The Peachtree seems to be a nice DAC with an OK power amp, whereas the Jolida seems like it may be a bettr amp. The Peachtree has a switchable power supply, which is useful since this unit will go to Europe. But I can get a 230 V Jolida. I agree that an integrated DAC, although useful, may not be a long term solution as computer audio evolves. Thanks.
