That said, I've owned a Peachtree Decco and felt it was a terrific value in that it offered a DAC, AMP, and tubed stage for my home office needs. Well built, and can be had for little money on the used market, especially when compared to separate components. I did not care for the lack of tone controls however (Yes, I realize tone controls are audiophile sacrilege).

I ended up selling the Decco in favor of a fully restored, vintage Marantz receiver and a Grant Fidelity Tube DAC-11. The Tube DAC-11 in one of the best audio bargains out there in my opinion. Very flexible unit that offers great sound from all it's configurations. This paring was a big audio improvement over the Decco, but involves more boxes, cabling, etc.
