Peachtree Reliability issues?

I'm curious if any of you have had reliability issues with peachtree products. Awhile back I was considering buying an idac but didn't because I read that people were having problems with them breaking. My brother bought a nova pre and the dac on it broke the second day he had it. He had another one sent to him five days later, he has had that one for a week, and now he is having the same problem; broken dac. Have you guys had similar problems with peachtree products? Dacs in particular?

Rsangole, thats how I felt about the Nova pre / 220 combo.  Great sound but missing some life. I wonder if its due to the class D amp.  Its intersting that an amp / pre / dac can sound good, have good power, have good extension and clarity yet be "missing something", and that something is life / soul.  I suppose one day I'll be listening to vinyl on tubes asking muself how I listened to lifeless digital.

I'll be listening through an ARC LS3 preamplifier and Thiel CS3.5 loudspeakers.  

From what I've seen on Peachtree's site it appears the 220se is being discontinued, being replaced by the Sona amp?  The Sona's specs are a tad lower in terms of output.

I received my factory refurbished Peachtree 220se the other day and it was dead on arrival.  I hooked it up and it simply remained in standby mode, no other input would respond.  A brick.

I sent my email explaining my plight,  and Peachtree's immediate responses,  that's right,  plural responses,  sent by two different people for the same situation,  resolved it in an instant.

Their offer was not only quickly tendered,  it exceeded my expectations.

Mind you,  this was for a factory refurbished piece.

Kudos to them for outstanding customer service.  A rarity in any business these days.
