Peachtree Audio 2.0
OMG, this is a common issue with their 220 model, and now it's also with the Nova 2.0. I was leaning heavily towards a 300 but looks like "make in USA" does not make a difference. Sorry to hear your new unit have a problem. Some cheap parts had be...

Thanks again DTC, Sorry for late acknowledgement.I fully agree with you on using a older computer for the music and later "upgrade" if the opportunities come along. As for the Sony HAP, I believe there is a software and some configurationsĀ to be d...

A separate dac and preamp or a good dac with pream
Hi All,Interesting to read a thread about using the Oppo 103 to dac and remove the computer away from the system as the Oppo 103 could read direct from an external hard disk. There I would have taken 2 components from the system, namely the comput...
