Peachtree's Decco65: Bring Any Digital Source to Life

Peachtree's Decco65 is an incredibly powerful and all-inclusive system -- the only thing left to add is your computer or streamer and speakers. Elegantly simple and elegant for the way you listen, the Decco65 has the inputs you really need for sources you use. More and more people each day switch to digital sources, yet most integrated amplifiers on the market support analog only. The Decco65 was designed to enhance any digital source, from mp3 to full 24/192 on your computer to the Apple TV, Sonos, music servers, internet radio -- whatever source you use. The Decco65's incredible DAC provides fantastically clear and pristine playback, while the tube buffer keeps the sound smooth and warm -- no "harsh" digital sounds here.

"This is seriously good, seriously listenable digital sound. It's nearly impossible to use without smiling. Peachtree Audio's decco65 is among the most recommendable affordable-perfectionist products I've had the pleasure of using."
– Art Dudley, Stereophile

The ESS Sabre Digital-to-Analog Converter is widely recognized as the worldʼs best DAC when dealing with hostile digital components like computers and streamers. Jitter is all but eliminated leaving a beautiful digital canvas as a base. The art of this DAC comes in with the hundreds of additional parts and multiple power supplies designed around the ESS chip that work in unison to produce the Peachtree sonic signature.

The 24/96 Asynchronous USB Input provides the best possible processing from this port and furthers the efforts of the ESS Sabre DAC. Asynchronous communication allows a high precision clock inside the decco65 to control the timing of the bitstream from the computer to the DAC. USB implementation is one of the more difficult tasks Galvanic Isolation Typically reserved for more expensive DAC circuits, galvanically isolation prevents electrical noise from entering the DAC board on all grounded digital inputs. Any contamination due to the switching power supply, multiple ground points, and high speed processing is isolated from the DAC so nothing but pure 1ʼs and 0ʼs reach the DAC circuit.

The Tube Buffer uses a stereo triode 6N1P to smooth the harsh digital edge found in poor recordings and compressed audio. It can be switched on or off from the remote control to match your preference at any given time. We find it especially good for Pandora, MOG, Spotify and most cloud-based listening. The Headphone Amp switches the speakers off when your headphones are inserted, so even when a quiet environment is required, you can still fill your head with lush high-resolution music. The headphone output runs through the tube stage so you can enjoy that smooth tube sound in solitude.

Want to add Airplay™ functionality? Simply connect an Apple Airport Express or AppleTV to one of the Decco65 digital inputs to wirelessly stream music from iTunes, your iPhone, iPod touch, or an iPad.

The Amplifier uses the same technology found in very expensive premium amplifiers. This high performance Class D design has the ability to drive 65 watts per channel into 8Ω and 95 watts per channel into 4Ω with a very natural sound. The decco65 amplifier has the sonic signature of a great A/B amp with the power efficiency of Class D. Itʼs combination of low distortion, high bandwidth, and energy efficiency make it the ideal partner to the decco65 digital front end and hybrid tube preamp.
