Arcam ST25 – Radia Series Network Streamer Now Available
The Arcam ST25 network streamer, announced in 2024, has gone on sale. The Arcam ST25 will be the perfect companion to the Arcam A5, A15 and A25 integrated amplifiers, which lack network functionality. The streamer is based on the Hyperstream iV platform and is assembled on a 6-layer electronic board with a continuous ground bus to protect sensitive components from interference and noise.
Digital-to-analog conversion in the Arcam ST25 is carried out by ESS Hyperstream iV DAC chips in a balanced configuration (the device supports signals up to PCM 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD256 streams). The Arcam ST25 is equipped with a linear power supply based on a toroidal transformer.
The Arcam ST25 network streamer stands out not only for its sound quality, but also for its design - its future-proof look is highlighted by a 6.5” display, made to clearly indicate album art and metadata.
With support for Apple Airplay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Roon certification, the Arcam ST25 offers instant access to popular streaming services and the ability to control everything from a smartphone or tablet (via the proprietary Arcam Radia app). The Arcam Radia ST25 network streamer is available in Europe at a recommended retail price of €1,799.
