Looks like Massdrop has a deal going on the PS Audio Sprout. If enough buyers commit, the price becomes $499, a great discount off of the $799 MSRP.

I picked on of these up from the last massdrop it it came within three weeks.  Great little jack knife of integrateds.  Drives most anything, has a nice open sound stage but...... No remote. Not a deal killer but I get more exercise.  Bluetooth works great, nice connections, have to use a 1/4 to rca for sub or amp out.  Not a biggie.  Worth every penny, plus has a mm/mc for you record player.

It's unfortunate that they so abjectly ruined a promising little product with nonflat bass response. There's a non-defeatable upper bass bloater followed by a highpass filter.

I guess that's par for the course for PS Audio though. They've always been a "high end" embarrassment, not "high fidelity."

I've heard nothing but good from owners. The $499 price is pretty good considering it's options.

Agreed. I was unimpressed from the Sphile review myself. For me it became a jack of all trades master of none product.

Best,

I currently have it hooked to a Set of TB 1808 w GR Research sealed 12s and find it has spunk. Fine low end and uppers.  I may be better off due to all the options on the bottom end from the PEQ amp. 

What you plug it into may have a significant effect.   Also, it doesn't beat my Tortuga LDR w power supply that Trung built me along with a solid state Firstwatt\Pass amp. Just say'in
