The following was noted on one of the Roon boards: “The Sprout 100 converts analogue inputs to digital and therefore will use it’s internal PCM192kHz DAC all the time - there’s no way to by-pass it’s internal DAC (which sounds great to me by the way).” Is that true? Do all the analog inputs get A…

While I don’t own a Sprout I looked at the specs on the website and read one of the reviews and there was no mention of an ADC. Quite honestly, I don’t know why they would do that since amplification is in the analog domain. My vote is that “Roon information” is incorrect, but hopefully someone fr…

I think Paul may have said that Sprout100 uses a digital volume control which requires that all signals be digital at that point.

Yes Paul confirmed it in thread titled Sprout100 volume control. 2nd post ; volume control in the Sprout100 uses the ESS DAC volume control which affords a lossless signal and works quite well. It’s a great little integrated.

[image] Mike Dahlstrom: Is that true? Do all the analog inputs get A/D’d prior to amplification? Just curious. [image] Sprout100 volume control Integrateds Yes. The analog input goes through an excellent A/D converter inside.

Thank you for the clarification. It sounds great I just wasn’t clear. Now to decide whether to buy that phono stage y’all sell while Music Direct has their special financing deal…
