I have a silver Zamp in my closet if you decide to go that route. I replaced it with a single ended amp. It is dead quiet and built like a tank. It resolves detail as good as any. It doesn't boost the bass like other little amps which can be good or bad, depending on your speakers and love for mid-bass.
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?

I'm not sure what your source is but if its a computer I would highly recommend the PSB Alpha system and an Audioquest red DAC combo I heard the NAD and wasn't impressed as much as the PSB Audioquest combo. http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/alpha/Alpha-1-100-Powered-Media-System The PSB speakers are powered (20wch class ab) with one RCA input as well as the line input from the DAC. They also have a matching subwoofer that's actually very well integrated. As a whole its a wonderful sounding system that's musical and has a huge sound stage that has great dispersion. I tried a bunch of systems and these PSB speakers are supper good for the money. |
