{"product_id":"arcam-radia-st5-streamer","title":"ARCAM RADIA ST5 STREAMER - Ex-Demonstration","description":"\u003ch2\u003eArcam Radia ST5 Streamer - Ex-Demonstration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arcam Radia ST5 is the streaming heart of the Radia system — a high-resolution network streamer designed specifically to partner the Arcam A5+ and A15+ integrated amplifiers. Its slim profile matches the Radia aesthetic precisely, and a dedicated control link between the ST5 and its partner amplifier means the two components behave as a single, unified device from your phone or tablet. The sonic case for a separate streamer is straightforward: isolated components with individual power supplies keep the analogue circuitry away from digital noise, and the result is a cleaner signal path than any all-in-one can offer at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Resolution Audio and DAC Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the ST5 sits an ESS ES9018 high-resolution DAC with time domain jitter elimination — a chip whose measured performance sets the standard for conversion at this price. The ST5 handles Hi-Res audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz across FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF and AAC, and supports MQA and DSD up to 128 for those whose libraries stretch that far. Standard formats — MP3, MP4, OGG, WMA — are handled equally well. Gapless playback is supported throughout, so albums play as they were intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStreaming Services and Connectivity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST5 covers every major streaming protocol without compromise. Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Qobuz Connect each run natively, meaning the processing stays on the ST5 rather than your phone — your device is simply a remote control. Apple AirPlay and Google Cast add broad device compatibility, and Roon Ready certification means the ST5 slots cleanly into a Roon system. The ARCAM Radia app handles Wi-Fi setup, internet radio presets and podcast playback. Connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and USB-A mass storage input adds local playback from a drive. Outputs cover all the bases: a stereo analogue RCA pair, a digital coaxial S\/PDIF output and an optical Toslink — so the ST5 works equally well feeding the Radia amplifiers' analogue input or an external DAC via the digital outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHi-Res Formats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFLAC, WAV (LPCM), MQA, AAC, ALAC, AIFF, DSD (up to 128)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHi-Res Bit Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16, 24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample Rates (Hi-Res)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Formats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMP3, MP4, OGG, WMA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Bit Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGapless Playback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x Analogue Stereo RCA pair, 1x Digital S\/PDIF Coaxial (RCA), 1x Digital S\/PDIF Optical (Toslink)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (Filter 1)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz–20kHz ± 0.05dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi, Ethernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × D × H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e431 × 344 × 58mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (net)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.58 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied Accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMains lead, remote control (2 × AAA batteries), control cable, Quick Start Guide, Important Safety Instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST5 is the natural choice for anyone building a system around the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/arcam-a5-integrated-amplifier\"\u003eArcam A5+ Integrated Amplifier\u003c\/a\u003e who wants to stream without compromise.
