I want to introduce my nephew to hi end with your help!

Hi guys, my nephew will turn 20th in June in Cuba and I'll be visiting him. He is a great kid and very curious about almost everything, he is finishing his second year of medicine. He loves music and always delighted to see my equipment in photos.
I had decided that it's about time for me to introduce him to a better sound appreciation that his MP3 files on PC.
I want to stay on budget and specially size wise since its difficult to pass electronics trough Cuban customs without paying fees.
My thoughts are.
1-PS audio Sprout 
2-NAD 3020

Both small and loaded with features.
I have no choice of speakers yet. Thinking on ELAC B5 or B6.

Headphones, I haven't decided yet.

I would really appreciate your inputs.
Kind regards.
Thanks

I owned the wee NAD, and it's a hoot. Many input options as well. Way more powerful than it looks.

I have been reading about them both in forums. People seems to prefer the sprout over the NAD.

I am sure your nephew will be happy either way! The sprout has phono in addition to digital. Be great with a pair of B5s.

The B5s are smaller probbably easier to transport. He is not expecting anything like that. It would be a wonderful time. 
Thank you all for your advice .
