Sprout100

Introduced 2018$799 MSRP

The PS Audio Sprout100 is a diminutive, "cigar box"-sized integrated amplifier/DAC that punches well above its size and price, combining an ICEpower Class-D amplifier stage, an ESS Sabre 9016 DAC, a built-in moving-magnet phono stage, and Bluetooth streaming in a machined aluminum chassis. It is a redesigned, higher-power follow-up to the original PS Audio Sprout, aimed at budget-conscious audiophiles building a compact desktop or bookshelf system.
