Peachtree Audio Nova manual T r o d u c t i o n, Other, Helpful, Tips

I n t r o d u c t i o n

Thank you for purchasing the Peachtree Audio Nova amplifier.

While Peachtree Audio is a new company, the people behind the design and mar- keting of this fine product have been in the Consumer Electronics business over 30 years. The design of the Nova is an attempt to marry audiophile level amplification 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!

The Guys at Signal Path

	Other
1) Always set your computer and Music program volume control to	Helpful
maximum and use the Nova volume as a master control. It sounds	Tips
better that way.

2)Avoid keeping multiple programs open while streaming music. It can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts.

3)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.

4)Give the Nova adequate ventilation as it will get fairly warm.

5)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.
