ARCAM ST5: hi‑res streamer with AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify/TIDAL/Qobuz Connect and ESS ES9018 DAC

The ARCAM ST5 is the Radia series network streamer built to upgrade a modern hi‑fi system with high‑resolution streaming and a rich feature set. ARCAM positions it as the hi‑res companion for Radia integrated amplifiers, with a slim chassis and a control link that lets compatible Radia amps and the ST5 behave like a single system from your device.

In real use, that means simpler operation (integrated input and volume control when paired with compatible Radia amplifiers) while also delivering the sonic benefits of separate components, each with its own power supply. It’s a clean way to build a more resolving system with better separation and soundstage—without adding complexity.

Feature‑wise, the ST5 is designed to work with most smartphones and tablets. Connect it to your home network via Wi‑Fi or Ethernet and enjoy instant playback using Apple AirPlay or Google Cast. For direct streaming it supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect, and it’s Roon Ready, with Hi‑Res and MQA support. All digital audio is converted on the analogue outputs by an ESS ES9018 high‑resolution DAC with time‑domain jitter elimination for consistently precise playback.

The ST5 also works with the ARCAM Radia app for Wi‑Fi setup and managing internet radio presets and podcasts. And for easier recycling, it comes in plastic‑free packaging.
