Amplifier Features

Overview: The Peachtree Audio Decco amplifier/speaker package includes an audiophile-grade, 50 watt x two-channel, hybrid tube integrated amplifier, and a pair of DS4.5 bookshelf speakers.

Two-Channel Amplifier With Tube Preamp Section: The Peachtree Audio Decco is equipped with a tube preamp section and a 50 watt x 2-channel, 8-ohm high current A/B amplifier. The amplifier is rated at 68 watts x 2-channel at 4-ohms. The audio signal travels through a tube preamp section which smoothes the sound significantly before it is sent to the high-current amplifier section.

High-Quality D/A Converter: The Decco includes a high-quality D/A converter to accept the digital signal directly from your computer, Squeezebox, Apple TV, Wadia digital iTransport, Airport, Sonos, XM or Sirius tuner for better sound. The signal is then routed through the tube preamp, smoothing out harsh digital artifacts and then passing through a high current amplifier allowing you to enjoy your music as a true high-end audio source.

USB Connection: Using the Decco, you can take a pure digital audio signal from iTunes, Windows Media, Front Row, or any other music management system on your computer before it goes through a sound card. Just hook up a USB 2.0 cable between your computer and the Decco's USB Type-B port--no other sound card is required. The Decco can decode the following audio formats - MP3, MP44, flac, AFF, wav, and Apple lossless.
