Welcome to your Peachtree Audio iDac!

Our goal at Peachtree is to design products that provide you with a magical musical 
experience. We believe the iDac reaches that goal.

At the heart of the iDac is an advanced ESS Sabre³² digital-to-analog converter. The 
secret to the sonic performance of the iDac is the Peachtree design team’s meticulously-
engineered implementation of this DAC, utilizing a variety of proprietary techniques 
and innovative circuit design. Connect your digital music library to the iDac and hear 
what’s possible!

And . . . prepare your ears for a treat when you plug your supported iPod into the 
iDac’s PURE DIGITAL iPod dock. Most docks pass only the analog signal from an 
iPod. But our PURE DIGITAL dock sends the digital bitstream from your iPod directly 
to the iDac’s internal Sabre³² DAC. The result? Sound from your iPod to rival that of 
an expensive audiophile-grade CD player!

This manual is a guide to the functions and operation of your iDac. It shows you how 
to connect a variety of digital  sources, and offers tips on getting the best performance. The 
iDac has been rigorously designed to deal with the real-world problems of computer and 
streaming audio - and it meets the true test of any audio component . . . it SOUNDS 
great!

We hope the iDac will provide you with years of enjoyable music listening. Visit us at 
www.peachtreeaudio.com for additional tips on getting the best sound from the music 
on your computer, and from all your digital sources. Please contact your dealer, or us 
directly, if you have questions. We now invite you to go to www.peachtreeaudio.com 
to register your iDac purchase.

Thank you - and Happy Listening!
