PS Audio Sprout
Description
In an attempt to bring the world of incredible audio quality to the younger generation, Scott McGowan, the son of PS Audio CEO Paul McGowan, has designed a new product category starting with the PS Audio Sprout. Sprout is a truly modern DAC with a fully integrated Class D 50 watts per channel amplifier. Coupled with Phono inputs, USB Audio input at 192/24, Analog input, Wireless Bluetooth and a quality headphone amplifier it provides an incredible feature set within a surprisingly small footprint at an incredible price point. It has never been so easy to hear any digital or analogue source as it was meant to be heard. Sprout is constructed of stainless steel, extruded aluminium, and walnut, its build quality is world class. With an incredible sound-stage and dynamics unheard of in this price range it truly needs to be heard to be believed.
