The reviewers say the strengths of the Nova are the DAC and preamp--and I agree. But, I was surprised to find the 80wpc amp totally capable and clear--a real improvement over the Decco, which was no slouch. This is just a great all-around performer and worth it for the DAC alone.  :thumb: Makes a sweet computer setup--smoothes out streaming music like you wouldn't believe--no warbled and warped sound.

Selling because I am thinning out the collection. I will especially miss this Sabre DAC. High WAF since it takes the place of so many pieces of equipment and looks good.

Feel free to PM with questions. Come have a listen if you are in the Greenville, SC area.

Don't be fooled by the price, this is a kick ass unit. I use mine with a SB3 and my RAW HT8 speakers and the combo is great  :thumb:
