The Esprit proves that good things can come in small packages. To have a preamp with both analog and digital capabilities on the input and output sides of the ledger, a very solid mini-preamp, and headphone amp in a tight form factor…well, this could be all that a desktop audiobum or computer-based music junkie would need. Add a good set of ‘phones, favorite analog sources, and your preferred PCM files, and down the road you go, in high compact style.
