Again, you can serve the Srout100’s USB input with the output from a computer.Īs you can see, I’m using this system as an in-room hifi (actually in-barn but a barn is also optional).

I’m not including the price for these components and software in the system price since you don’t have to use them. I used my Sonore microRendu to feed the Sprout via USB, the Well Tempered Amadeus turntable for spinning vinyl, my iPhone 6 for Bluetoothing, Roon to control streaming playback, and Target speaker stands. System Price for the Sprout100 + ELAC Debut 2.0 speakers + AQ speaker cables + AQ USB cable = $1,115.94. The AudioQuest cables in play included the Type 4 speaker cables ($232.00/6′ pair) and the Forest USB cable ($35.95/0.75M).

The price of admission is $249.98 /pair (see the full specs). The cabinet is made from CARB2 Rated MDF and the Debut 2.0 comes in your choice of Black Ash Vinyl or Black Ash Vinyl (wink). The Debut 2.0 B5.2 speakers, hereafter Debut 2.0, are a 2-way bass reflex design housing a 1″ cloth dome tweeter and a 5-1/4″ Aramid fiber woofer. Yes, audiophiles can be patient, contrary to popular belief. Talking about price/performance, I said, “Man, that’s just crazy!” Here I sit in the barn with a pair of the ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 speakers, something I’ve wanted and waited to do since 2015. I remember first catching wind, and an earful, of the Andrew Jones designed ELAC Debut speakers in their room at RMAF 2015 where the system earned my “Favorite Room” not-an-award. My thinking is-life’s too short and the list of great music to listen to is too long to fuss over cables. I’m also a fan of not mixing and matching cables from different manufacturers in general, and especially for a relatively simple system. Depending on your setup, you’ll obviously need some cables and for the purposes of this system review, I’ve chosen to use cabling from AudioQuest because they make sense seeing as the company’s lineup includes many affordable and well-made products. On the output side, you need to add speakers and/or a pair of headphones.

The input options include a computer or network player’s USB output, Bluetooth (like from your phone), a turntable (yes!), an analog device (like a cassette deck), and a Toslnk-output-enabled device like your TV. The Sprout100 costs $599.00 (see the full Sprout specs).Ī quick Sprout100 feature recap means if you own a Sprout, you need to add a source(s). The PS Audio Sprout100 is the new model, which adds a number of things to the original including more output ICEpower, double the original’s 50wpc, the 100’s DAC reaches way up to 24/384 for PCM files and DSD128, there’s a variable subwoofer mono output, full RCA analog in/out connectors, a redesigned RIAA phono-stage, and a newly designed z-feedback low-impedance headphone amplifier.

I first reviewed the original PS Audio Sprout in 2015 for AudioStream. This is all well and good as long as we’re careful about we say in a given component review but the idea of reviewing a system has always appealed to me seeing as we listen to systems not components.

On one hand, every component review is a system review, on the other hand reviews are rarely presented as such. It’s also the case that I’ve wanted to review this particular system for years as well. It’s no exaggeration to say that I’ve been thinking about writing a system review for years.
