Arcam ST5 Music Streamer

Arcam ST5 Music Streamer/Network Player

Arcam’s new Radia range of hi-fi separates has already gained acclaim, with the A5 and A15 amplifiers and CD5 CD player all receiving five-star reviews and 2023 What Hi-Fi? Awards wins.

 The ST5 is the new streamer. This is a fantastic sounding unit, but Arcam's own app gets some criticisism for being slow to respond.  

Fortunately their are workarounds - simply use using Tidal Connect, Airplay2, Chromecast or Roon istead of their app.

Features

• Works with Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect - for direct connection from your preferred music service
  
• Works with new ARCAM app - for Wi-Fi setup and internet radio presets - includes Qobuz, Amazon Music and Podcasts
• Specially selected components and materials - to deliver on sound quality
• Supports Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast built-in - works with all Apple and Android phones and tablets
• Roon Ready (with software download)
• Supports Hi-Res Audio - up to 24 bit / 192 kHz from digital and analogue outputs

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.

Reviews

"With this streamer, we hear the same genial, composed and full-sounding presentation we liked so much in the A5 and CD5. The ST5 streamer has an ease and friendliness to the way it approaches music played through it" What Hi-Fi
