Sprout is a simple, elegant source of music for those who want quality sound without the hassles that come with it.

It features a phono preamplifier for vinyl, a Bluetooth receiver for music streamed from smartphones, a high-quality hi-res DAC to handle anything stored on a laptop, enough power for any speaker, and a headphone amp that drives even the toughest loads.

Rather than a display screen and endless menus, Sprout’s user interface is a direct hand-to-Sprout connection through two precision rotary switches. These allow intuitive, direct control of the device, and provide feedback to the user through a positive click, and immediate response to changes in volume.
