About the nova300
The Peachtree Audio nova300 is a high-power stereo integrated amplifier with an onboard ESS Sabre DAC, asynchronous USB audio, S/PDIF inputs, MM phono stage, preamplifier output, home-theater bypass, loop connections, and a headphone output. Its ICEpower-based Class D amplification is rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 450 watts per channel into 4 ohms, and it is specified as stable with speaker loads from 2.5 to 16 ohms. Digital playback supports PCM up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD up to 5.6 MHz via USB. The unit was introduced in the mid-2010s and appears to be a discontinued or no-longer-current model; the manufacturer’s current product listings may still retain a product page, so availability can vary by region and remaining dealer stock.
