Peachtree DAC•iT USB DAC

has posted a review of the Peachtree DAC•iT DAC ($449) at Stereophile. His conclusions:

“I’ve listened, through my system, to the Musical Fidelity V-DAC, the Arcam rDAC, the Rega DAC, the YBA Design WD202, the HRT Music Streamer Pro, the Peachtree iDac, and the Cambridge Audio Azur DacMagic. All cost under $1000, and each is a good-sounding DAC with a subtle yet unique sonic signature. Of those mentioned that cost less than $500, I would easily reach first for the DAC•iT. All of the DACs in this list have little blemishes in various spots, including the DAC•iT, but the Peachtree’s flaws are more than buried under the sheer beauty of the music it makes. With other DACs in its price range, I’ve always sensed a subtle cheapness to the sound, but not with the DAC•iT. (Both the Musical Fidelity V-DAC and Cambridge DacMagic have since been released in revised editions that I haven’t heard, so you may want to check them to be sure.)”
