PS Audio Sprout - NAD or Parasound for desktop?

I need something small with analog inputs, headphone and power outputs.

In about the same price range is the PS Audio Sprout, an NAD D 3020 and a Parasound Zpre/Zamp combo

Last I heard NAD master's DAC it was painful, so I'm least excited.

Suggestions?

Best,

I only heard the NAD master once, and cold, it had a really hard and congested top end at the dealer.

The little Parasound ZDAC was so much better.

I did not get a change to hear if it improved after a while.
