Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Peachtree Audio Nova amplier.
While Peachtree Audio is a new company, the people behind the design and mar-
keting of this ne product have been in the Consumer Electronics business over 30
years. The design of the Nova is an attempt to marry audiophile level amplication
with the unique capabilities of external Digital to Analog converters. The ability
to process and play compressed and uncompressed music files that have been
downloaded to hard drives makes the Nova a unique product. The fact that it vastly
improves upon the performance of most computer-audio systems is a big plus; and
our original goal.
This manual is your guide to the functions and connections associated with the
Nova. It will process a host of digital audio sources from the Apple Airport to the
Slim Devices Squeezebox, to the Roku Soundbridge, to the Linksys Music Bridge,
to the Sonos ZP80, and to the digital output of your CD player. And of course, you
can plug an iPod in to it, too.
We sincerely hope that the Nova provides you with years of trouble-free music
listening, and that you will use it often. We will try to keep updates on our web-
site, http://signalpathint.com/index.htm , and you may also want to contact your
dealer should you have any questions. While you’re thinking about it, please go to
Peachtreeaudio.com and register your Nova for peace of mind.
Thanks again, and Happy Listening!

Tips

Always set your computer and Music program volume control to
maximum and use the Nova volume as a master control. It sounds
better that way.
Avoid keeping multiple programs open while streaming music. It
can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts.
Avoid plugging and unplugging the USB input multiple times in a short time span. It usually is not
a problem but increases the chance of a voltage spike to the USB input.
Give the Nova adequate ventilation as it will get fairly warm.
The blue lighted ring around the digital inputs of the Nova have a diagnostic built in. If the digital
signal is not locked on the DAC it will continue to blink. Check your connections and be sure your
source is turned on and playing. If it still blinks with no sound feel free to call us at the number
below.
As we develop more computer-audio products and gain more knowledge
we’ll post helpful tips on our website:
