Description
The Arcam SA35 Streaming Integrated Amplifier is an all-in-one audio system designed for the modern music enthusiast. It brings together the latest in streaming technology, power efficiency, and audio performance. With a newly upgraded streaming platform, enhanced user interface, and a new toroidal power supply, the SA35 offers exceptional sound quality and seamless connectivity.
Equipped with a low distortion Class G amplifier, it delivers an impressive 120 watts per channel, ensuring both clarity and depth in your audio. This versatile amplifier is perfect for audiophiles looking for a high-resolution solution that integrates effortlessly into their home audio setup.
Cutting-Edge Design for Optimal Performance
One of the key highlights of the Arcam SA35 is its advanced six-layered PCB design, which reduces interference and ensures optimal performance. The design includes a dedicated ground plane that shields sensitive components from noise, enhancing the overall audio experience.
At the heart of this amplifier is the Hyperstream iV DAC topology from ESS, which is renowned for its balanced design and excellent channel separation. The advanced jitter management system further ensures that digital audio is delivered with precision and clarity, preserving the subtleties and nuances of your favorite music.
This meticulous attention to detail in the design guarantees a high-fidelity listening experience.
Power Supply and Efficiency
The Arcam SA35 features a linear toroidal transformer-driven power supply that produces lower noise and interference compared to traditional transformers. This new power supply design allows the amplifier to perform at its best, delivering high-quality audio while minimizing distortion.
Additionally, a switching power supply is included for low power consumption when the unit is in standby mode, making the SA35 an energy-efficient choice for modern households. Toroidal transformers, known for their compact size and low electromagnetic interference, ensure that the SA35 performs at its peak, whether in full operation or in standby.
Class G Amplification for Superior Sound
What sets the Arcam SA35 apart from other amplifiers is its Class G amplifier design. This unique approach to amplification offers higher efficiency compared to traditional Class A/B designs, while still maintaining superior sound quality. Class G amplifiers use two power supply voltages—higher voltages are engaged only at higher output levels, which minimizes overall power consumption.
This approach allows for excellent dynamic range and audio performance while maintaining energy efficiency. The SA35’s Class G amplifier provides outstanding performance for both quiet listening sessions and high-output soundscapes, making it an ideal choice for a variety of music genres.
Advanced Display and Streaming Integration
The Arcam SA35 features a large 6.5” high-resolution display, designed to clearly show album artwork and metadata from across the room. This easy-to-read display enhances user interaction and makes it simple to control the amplifier.
With built-in support for popular streaming services such as Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Roon, the SA35 makes it easy to enjoy high-quality streaming.
The device integrates seamlessly with smartphones, tablets, and computers, and is further enhanced by the Arcam Radia App. This app facilitates quick Wi-Fi setup, internet radio presets, and more, ensuring a streamlined and enjoyable user experience.
Connectivity and Room Calibration Features
The Arcam SA35 offers extensive connectivity options to cater to a variety of audio sources. It features three analog RCA inputs, including MM and MC phono inputs for vinyl lovers, as well as digital inputs like HDMI eARC, optical, and coaxial connections. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities ensure that the amplifier works with a wide range of devices and audio formats.
Additionally, the Arcam SA35 comes equipped with Dirac Live Room Correction (DLRC), which uses a microphone to analyze the acoustics of your room and optimize the audio output. This feature ensures that the sound is tailored to the unique characteristics of your space, eliminating room-related distortions and providing a more immersive listening experience.
