Description
The Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer is an advanced digital audio player that combines the latest streaming technology with exceptional audio quality. Expertly crafted in Cambridge, UK, the ST25 has been designed with a new digital audio and streaming platform, an upgraded user interface, and a refined app to enhance the overall experience.
It also incorporates a new linear toroidal power supply that improves efficiency and reduces noise, delivering cleaner, more detailed sound. With its sleek design and innovative features, the Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer is the ideal addition to any Hi-Fi system, offering an effortless upgrade in sound quality and connectivity.
Advanced Audio Technology for Pure Sound
At the core of the Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer lies a six-layered printed circuit board (PCB) that has been carefully engineered to minimize interference and maintain signal integrity. This design includes a dedicated ground plane that shields the sensitive audio components, ensuring minimal distortion and clearer sound.
The streamer uses the latest Hyperstream iV DAC topology from ESS, which further suppresses interference and reduces jitter. This balanced configuration allows for superior channel separation and accuracy, delivering a high-fidelity listening experience that enhances both the subtleties and dynamics of your music.
Enhanced Power Supply for Cleaner Audio
The Arcam ST25 is equipped with a high-performance power supply that features a toroidal transformer, known for producing less magnetic interference than conventional transformers. This contributes to the low noise floor and ensures that audio output is as pure as possible.
The linear power supply eliminates high-frequency noise often generated by switching power supplies, providing superior sound performance. Additionally, a switch-mode power supply is used in the standby circuit, which helps reduce overall power consumption without sacrificing performance.
The result is a highly efficient system that delivers consistent, high-quality audio playback with minimal power waste.
Large Display and Intuitive User Interface
One of the standout features of the Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer is its impressive 6.5” high-resolution display. This large screen is designed to showcase album artwork and track metadata clearly, making it easy to read from across the room.
The intuitive user interface allows users to access a wide range of features, including the ability to control playback directly from smartphones, tablets, or PCs. With support for popular streaming services like Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, the ST25 ensures that streaming music from your preferred platforms is a seamless experience.
Seamless Integration with ARCAM Radia A25 Amplifier
The Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer is perfectly suited for use with the ARCAM Radia A25 integrated amplifier. It includes a control link that enables both components to function together as one system, offering a simplified, cohesive user experience.
This integration provides the added benefit of isolated components with individual power supplies, which enhances sonic clarity and reduces distortion. When paired with the A25 amplifier, the ST25 delivers unparalleled sound performance, making it the ultimate solution for audiophiles who demand both quality and convenience in their listening setup.
Connectivity and Versatility
The Arcam ST25 Hi-Fi Streamer is designed to offer extensive connectivity options, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio devices. It features digital inputs such as optical and coaxial connections, providing flexibility for integrating with various systems. The device outputs via two RCA connectors, ensuring high-quality audio transmission.
In addition to its physical inputs, the ST25 boasts a robust set of wireless features, including Wi-Fi support through the ARCAM Radia app. Once connected to your home network, you can enjoy direct streaming from services like Roon (coming soon), Spotify, and Tidal, making the ST25 an all-encompassing solution for modern music lovers.
