ARCAM - Radia SA35 Streaming Integrated Amplifier

Hear the Subtleties That Make Music an Emotional Experience, Enjoy All-in-One Convenience: 120Wpc Arcam Radia SA35 Streaming Integrated Amplifier Includes Versatile Connectivity and Dirac Live Room Correction
The engineering behind the Arcam Radia SA35 streaming integrated amplifier knows the difference between letting you hear music — and allowing you to experience it. The distinction largely owes to being able to enjoy the subtleties, nuances, tonalities, and micro-dynamics that make a song or composition sound as if it is unfolding in real time. When those are missing from the presentation, everyone in the room knows they are witnessing a prerecorded program, which are often robbed of the emotionalism and dimensionality you get when hearing an artist live.
Designed in the U.K., the 26.45-pound SA35 makes waves with all-in-one convenience, full-range 120Wpc output to drive your speakers, and a host of all-new components — linear toroidal power supply, interface, app, and digital platform included. The latter has six-layer architecture that uses a ground plane through the entire board to help keep noise away from the ESS Hyperstream iV DAC topology, which itself claims balanced configuration and advanced jitter elimination. As for the toroidal transformer? It drives the entire internal operation with satisfying quiet and a switching supply that only activates for peak efficiency when in standby. SA35 also leverages what’s become an Arcam hallmark — Class G amplifier technology, here in its fifth generation — to play with exceptional efficiency, clarity, and smoothness.
Compatible out of the box with Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect, the 3.9 x 17.0 x 13.4-inch SA35 handles up to DSD256 and 32-bit/384kHz PCM. Ready to interface with your favorite streaming services, phones, and tablets, it effortlessly connects with your home network via WiFi and the easy-to-use Arcam Radia app. Said app further invites you to enjoy Internet Radio, podcasts, UPnP, and USB media (via a USB-A mass storage input). When it comes to versatile connectivity, S35 boasts two coaxial inputs, two optical inputs, and three pairs of RCA inputs. An HDMI eARC to hooking up your TV, both MM and MC phono inputs, and dual subwoofer outputs add to the flexibility. Want room correction? Say no more. SA35 has Dirac Live to assist you with fine-tuning your sound.
On the front of the elegant SA35 you’ll doubtlessly notice a bonded 6.5-inch high-resolution display that showcases album artwork and metadata. Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast, a remote control, measurement microphone, and forthcoming Roon Ready ability round out a one-box solution that leaves a lasting impression.
