The PS Audio PerfectWave DAC will change the way you think about digital to analog converters forever. It accesses high-resolution digital audio data from multiple sources such as a CD transport, CD player, computer, network, or the Internet and converts the data to the most musically natural sounding analog audio ever produced. It no longer matters how the digital audio data is stored or delivered, the PWD produces the same high performance audio sent over a network, taken from a hard drive, a CD or even downloaded via the Internet. The PWD can access and control any compatible network source such as a network hard drive (NAS), or stream music directly off the Internet. It works in perfect harmony with PS Audio’s ground breaking PerfectWave Transport (PWT) Memory Player. Built from the ground up as a dedicated high-end optical disc transport, the PWT will read Red Book CD's and WAV files of any resolution from both CD and DVD discs (such as the Reference HRx discs) and output near-perfect digital data to any D to A processor made. The PWT is designed to be the best optical disc player you will ever use. Cover art, song titles, track times, sample rates and bit depth are all displayed on the beautiful color touch screen automatically for any inserted disc.  
The Peachtree Audio iDecco is the first all-in-one iPod dock that takes the digital signal from your iPod directly to our on-board ESS Sabre DAC. The music then travels through a Class A tube-buffered preamp to a high-current 40 watt-per-channel amplifier.
The iDecco is actually FIVE products in one… a“Pure Digital” iPod dock, an integrated amplifier, a class A tube preamplifier, an exceptional stand-alone multi-input DAC, and a class A headphone amplifier. Pictures of this unit are deceptive - this is a full size piece, with beef!

Today an increasing number of music lovers are buying storing and listening to music through their computer, media server, or personal music player (iPod).  This is a great way to explore and appreciate music but generally it’s done at the expense of sound quality. Music Hall designed the dac 25.2 to directly address this problem and to significantly improve the sound quality of the music played on these systems. 

By uniting a state of the art digital to analog converter with a tube output we produce the clarity and precision of a 24bit DAC with the warm rich open sound people love of tubes. Used in conjunction with the Wadia iTransport (shown below) makes for an excellent entry-level alternative to a conventional cd changer.
