Peachtree audio Grandpre

Zugisland:

You mention that the remote offers direct access to each input - based on the picture that I saw, this is rather surprising as I thought you'd have to scroll through outputs just like the W4S Dac2. Also, I hope the Power button really turns the unit off/on and not some lesser functionality as is the case for most tube amps. Can you confirm?

Ejammer, There are 8 individual input buttons on the remote. The power button is marked as standby and the tubes still glow when the unit is in standby. So I would say no the unit does not shut completely off.

Still havent fixed windows 7 64bit driver yet..but this is the perfect product once they do..

Zugisland, how exactly are your driver problems manifesting themselves? I have issues with my GP's USB input on both a Windows 7 machine and my MacBook Pro, and I'm curious to hear details about others' experiences.

YJ, I have the GP as well, I have had it for about a month. I figured out how to get it going on my Mac Book pro, not too difficult however it did not like Pure Music, kept stopping after 3 or 4 songs. I ditched PM and I am now using the trial version of Amarra and they seem to like each other just fine. My real problems started when I first hooked the GP up with my system and I kept getting hum through the speakers and my mono blocks power meter went crazy. To make a very long story short, after trying all the usual tricks to eliminate a ground loop I have to use both XLR and RCA connections to my amps to eliminate the hum and make my mono blocks happy...Go figure?
