ARCAM - Radia ST25 Network Streamer

High-Resolution Streaming, Stepped Up to Audiophile Levels: Arcam Radia ST25 Network Streamer Plays DSD256 and 32-Bit PCM, Features All-New Toroidal Power Supply, Digital Platform, Interface, and App
Step up your streaming experiences with the Arcam Radia ST25 network streamer. Capable of playing up to DSD256 and 32-bit/384kHz, this British-designed unit makes waves with 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.
Compatible out of the box with Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect, ST25 effortlessly connects with your home network via WiFi and the easy-to-use Arcam Radia app. Measuring 3.9 x 17.0 x 12.95 inches (HWD), ST25 also boasts one coaxial output, one optical output, and one pair of RCA outputs,. The Radia app further invites you to enjoy Internet Radio, podcasts, UPnP, and USB media (via a USB-A mass storage input). On the front of ST25, you’ll doubtlessly notice a bonded 6.5-inch high-resolution display that showcases album artwork and metadata.
Sold with a remote control, ST25 plays music with involving emotionalism, finesse, dynamics, and presence. And like all Arcam products, it specializes in ultra-low distortion so you hear what you’re supposed to hear — without interference and muddiness.
