The ARCAM ST5 is the high resolution upgrade for our Radia integrated amplifiers. The slim form factor includes a control link to these amplifiers, allowing the 2 components to act as one from your device. Sonically, this combination offers better sound quality due to the benefits of isolated components with individual power supplies.
The ARCAM ST5 provides an inclusive feature set supporting the majority of smart phones and tablets, as well as popular streaming services. Connect the ST5 to your home network with Wi-Fi or Ethernet to enjoy instant playback using Apple Airplay2 or Google Chromecast.
The ST5 will playback music directly from Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, and for power users, the ST5 is Roon Ready, all with Hi-res and MQA support. All digital audio is output on the analogue outputs using an ESS ES9018 high resolution DAC with time domain jitter elimination for perfect sound, every time.
