Congratulations on both purchases. Keep us updated once you've had time with the Sprout & Quads.

Need some suggestions for a desktop amp.
I'm in need of some ideas/suggestions for a desktop amp. built in DAC would be a plus but not necessary. I used to have a Naim Untitqute driving my Harbeth P3ESR's which are very nearfield. My issue with the Naim is the large form factor which takes up a lot of space on my desk. Although the sound and functionality was great with the built in DAC and all.
The issue is, most amps with a smaller form factor made for desks are Headphone amps and not speaker amps.
I tried a little Chinese amp but the ChiFi amp I ordered wouldn't work hooked up via USB to my iMac like it was adverstied to. So back it went.
I considered buying some Active Speakers but have never had any experience with them so not sure what direction to go. I love my little Harbeths so would like to keep them but I'm open to making a change if need be.
I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Nuprime IDA-8. However, I wanted to get others opinions first.
Thank you for your thoughts.

@jb505 I think you'll be surprised by the Sprout. Congrats! |
I purchased the sprout used. It arrived DOA. So I had to send it to PS Audio for a fix. It is under warranty and the seller paid for shipping to PS. I bought some power cords on Amazon. I took rubbing alcohol to the remote and it’s much nicer now. The speakers are in great shape, not near mint, but overall sound nice. |
Tons of great amps in the 2K range!
if too big, ….I love my Avantone cla-200 stereo amp, she is great, and sounds wicked playing rock/metal/blues !!
800$, ….great little amp! or check QSC, crown, have a couple pro amps in storage, the best is the ca-9 from Crest, before the buyout, as are my Energy speakers from Energy, before destroyed by klipsch!
check out the avantone cla-200 stereo amp, or the QSC! Many companies are OUB past few years! The avantone cla-200 will drive speakers, enjoy the hunt.
