Product Description
Ranked “among the most listenable and vivid headphone amps” by Wired, with “build quality and features [that] hit the mark,” the new Peachtree Audio Shift offers an immersive audio experience at home or on the go, and doubles as a battery pack you can use to charge your phone. About the size of a deck of cards and weighing only 6 ounces, it’s sturdy enough to hold up to the daily commute and sure to give your music a serious boost Read More
This isn't really a drop at all. Peachtree themselves are selling it with warranty, the missing case massdrop isn't supplying and ships quicker for 20$ more. Seems more logical of a purchase at least to me
I love Peachtree but honestly the OPPO HA-2 is a better deal at this price point:

ES9018 over ES9010
13 hours battery over 8 hours battery
Same form factor
Even functions as a spare battery for iPhones
Only $20 more than this drop (and cheaper than the Peachtree's MSRP).
ArjanBe careful with marketing specs...
The shift has a 4100mAh battery. The Oppo has a 3000mAh battery. As someone who has tried both extensively before deciding, I can tell you the shift lasts longer! Also, the shift functions as a battery backup for iOS devices too. To my ear, the shift was the more musical sounding device. I returned the Oppo. Try for yourself though. The shift is an amazing DAC by any standard. I now have one on my desk and one in my travel bag. Very happy!
lastzeroI am more interested in how it compares to the iBasso D14 Bushmaster

They both seem to employ the same ESS Sabre32 chip. EDIT: my bad, I mis-read 9010K2M as 9018K2M
I have read some of the reviews for the D14, and so far I am leaning towards the iBasso unit. I like the fact that the D14 uses the XMOS USB driver, and that iBasso has a "control panel" to adjust the features of the DAC/AMP
