Arcam ST5 - An elegant streamer
Arcam's ST5 lets you add high-res streaming to pretty much any hi-fi system. Its sleek, modern design has clean lines and substantial, hefty construction, with some nice touches that set it apart from the pack. And its flexible streaming options let you play your music from your favourite device or with just a touch of the included remote.
Multiple streaming options
Add this streamer to your home network using Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet connection. You can then set it up as an AirPlay 2 playback device, or as a Chromecast player using the Google Home app. Support for Spotify® Connect and TIDAL Connect lets you stream to the ST5 directly from those apps. It will also show up in your player list if you're using Roon. And a USB Type-A port on the rear panel lets you play music from an external storage device (sold separately).
Versatile connectivity
You can connect the ST5 to your amplifier, AV receiver or powered speakers in a few different ways. Using a high-quality stereo RCA cable lets you take advantage of its high-performance ESS ES9018 high resolution onboard DAC. Or, you could leave the digital-to-analogue conversion to your amplifier or outboard DAC by using the digital outputs to connect.
Perfect Partners
The ST5 will add high-res streaming to almost any sound system, but it's designed as a companion for one of Arcam's impressive Radia series of amplifiers and components. When you connect it to a Radia amp, you can take advantage of the rear-panel control link so that you can control both from a single remote. Or you can control them using the free Arcam Radia app for Apple® and Android™ devices.
