Owner’s Reference Sprout100

How is Sprout100 dierent from the original? To start, Sprout100 oers

double the output power, which—apart from providing renewed eciency,

lowered distortion, and greater separation and detail—also serves to

galvanize the sonic benets of extended headroom. Your Sprout100

oers a DAC with maximum resolution—one that decodes even 128DSD

and 384/24PCM. We hear you want a remote control, an indicator light, a

defeatable bass-boost, and an optical input? It’s all there. Sprout100 also

diers from the original by oering a variable subwoofer mono output, full

RCA analog in/out connectors, a redesigned world-class RIAA phono-stage,

and a newly designed z-feedback low-impedance headphone amplier.

And with Sprout100’s new universal internal power supply (100 - 240VAC @

50/60Hz with auto-detect) you can take your new integrated amplier abroad

for maximum exibility. By adapting new high-resolution/low-distortion

topologies, a beefy 240-watt power supply, and bleeding-edge ICEpower

amplier technology, Sprout100 oers increased headroom, lower noise oor,

and extended and nuanced frequency response. Z-feedback innovations

reveal temporal accuracy and increased transient impulse response. Sonically

notable for its lucid spatial detail, acute tonal retrieval, and commanding

noise immunity, Sprout100 is even more equipped to drive your loudspeakers

and headphones than before.

But many things didn’t change.

For example, the size, feel, shape and style are the same. Like its predecessor,

Sprout100 is adorned with real walnut and machined aluminum knobs—

making each and every Sprout100 unique. Our attention to detail is the same.

Our passion remains true. Our philosophy will never change.

We hope you enjoy Sprout100 as much as we did making it. Thank you for

joining in the experience.

Sincerely,

Scott McGowan
