The new Nova from Peachtree audio offers that. It also offers a myriad of other features, including a tube output stage for the preamp section, three analog inputs, an on-board 24/96 upsampling D/A converter with multiple digital inputs, and a USB digital input for direct connection to a home computer music server. The amp section is rated at 80Wpc, and the amp is also equipped with a Class A headphone amp. Peachtree Audio claims that the quality of the Nova's low-jitter D/A converter alone matches that of more expensive dedicated D/A converters. All that for $1199 in Black, Rosewood, and Cherry.
