Peachtree Audio has raised the bar with the Nova.
Consider the Nova if you’re looking to improve your computer-based or streaming audio to a “high-end” performance level. The Nova is a world class 80 watt per channel integrated amplifier with a built-in high-performance digital-to-analog converter. It has enough digital and analog inputs and outputs to satisfy all the new digital devices. Plus, it can handle the oldies like turntables (with an external phono preamp), tuners, etc. The Nova performs like a high-end integrated amplifier - because that’s what it is. We call it the "new millennium" integrated amplifier!
Whether it’s digital or analog, the Nova is engineered for the way you listen today.

The Peachtree Audio NOVA is notable for blending transparent, composed analog amplification with a highly sophisticated built-in DAC, offering musicality that beats competitors at its original $1199 price. The listed price of A$990 sits just below the 75th percentile of A$995 and is very close to the median of A$730, making it a fair, solid-market deal rather than a bargain or an ambitious overprice. Given the strong ground truth data showing a median of A$730, this listing is priced with confidence but not excessively high for a well-regarded hybrid unit.
This amplifier remains a worthwhile buy because its hybrid design delivers 80Wpc of clean power alongside an ESS Sabre DAC chip for stunning signal-to-noise performance, making it ideal for both digital and analog sources. The included USB input, coax/optical digital ports, and dual pre-amp outputs add significant versatility, while the original-owner condition (if true) suggests minimal wear and preserved reliability. At A$990, you are acquiring a time-tested, top-tier performer in its class with no common failure points noted for this model, presenting a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking quality without the new-price markup.

Peachtree Audio emerged from Atlanta, Georgia, in 2007, when audio industry veterans Jim Spainhour and David Solomon launched their debut product: the groundbreaking Decco integrated amplifier. This was the world's first integrated amp with a USB input, enabling direct computer playback via its onboard DAC—a pioneering fusion of digital convenience and analog warmth that redefined entry-level hi-fi. Assembled and tested in their North Carolina facility, the brand quickly gained traction among enthusiasts seeking accessible high-performance audio.
The company focuses on integrated amplifiers and DACs that blend digital precision with musicality, alongside streamers, preamps, and powered speakers. Their lineup emphasizes simplicity, beauty, and superior sound, from the affordable Nova series to more advanced models, without venturing into turntables, headphones, or cables. In 2017, Peachtree marked its tenth anniversary with a "2.0" relaunch, introducing refined products that elevated their core strengths in compact, high-value amplification.
Peachtree occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, celebrated for delivering premium sound at approachable prices—think $800 wonders that punch above their weight. Far from high-end esoterica or vintage collector bait, they appeal to discerning buyers who prioritize performance over prestige, earning praise from outlets like Stereophile for their reboot and enduring appeal in a digital-first era.
