About the nova125se
The Peachtree Audio Nova 125SE combines a powerful 125 watts per channel amplifier (8 ohms) with a high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz asynchronous USB DAC and a class-A tube preamplifier buffer. It features multiple digital inputs including two optical and one coaxial input, supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution, plus a pure analog input for turntables or other analog sources. The amplifier uses a discrete Class-A output stage with Class-D power amplification, delivering 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It includes an audiophile-grade headphone amplifier with a tube buffer that can be switched on for a warmer sound. The chassis is crafted from FSC-certified sustainable wood with a 6mm thick bead-blasted aluminum front panel available in rosewood, high-gloss black, or cherry finishes. The Nova 125SE is designed for real-world power ratings with low distortion and high damping factor, making it capable of driving a wide range of speakers with authority and clarity. It also features galvanic isolation on digital inputs to reduce electrical noise and jitter, enhancing sound quality. The unit measures approximately 14.8" W x 11.5" D x 4.4" H and weighs about 7.7 kg (17 lbs).
