The Arcam Radia ST5 is the high-resolution audio upgrade for any Hi-Fi system. It includes a control link for ARCAM Radia amplifiers, allowing the two components to act as one from the device. Sonically, this combination offers pure audio heaven, thanks to the benefits of isolated components with individual power supplies, and would be the perfect complement to the Arcam A5 or A15 amplifiers.
Exquisite sound quality has been achieved through careful design of a new 6-layer digital audio and streaming platform that includes a ground plane across the entire board to keep noise and interference away from sensitive audio components. These components include ESS' latest Hyperstream iV DAC topology, in a balanced configuration with advanced jitter elimination.
Sound quality is further enhanced with a new linear toroidal transformer power supply design that drives the entire internal operation with less noise and a switching power supply that only operates for maximum efficiency when in standby mode.
Connecting the ST25 to your Wi-Fi home network is quick and easy with our ARCAM Radia app. Once connected, enjoy instant playback with Apple Airplay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect or Roon.
