ARCAM S45 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER WITH INTEGRATED STREAMING CLIENT

The ARCAM SA45 is the ultimate all-in-one streaming system for discerning music lovers. Designed in Cambridge, UK, it uses cutting-edge technology to reproduce music in its purest form. The SA45 relies entirely on balanced digital and analogue audio paths for pristine sound quality.

Thanks to an innovative digital audio and streaming platform, the SA45 achieves exceptional audio fidelity. The board's extensive ground plane minimizes noise and interference, while ESS's latest Hyperstream iV DAC topology and advanced jitter elimination are used in a balanced configuration. A linear toroidal transformer power supply design ensures quiet operation of all internal components, further enhancing sound quality.

As a high-resolution audio solution, the ARCAM SA45 offers complete flexibility. With subwoofer outputs and Dirac Live room correction, it optimises the sound in any room and with any speaker configuration. ARCAM's 5th generation Class G amplifier design delivers 2x 180W of power with ultra-low distortion, resulting in excellent sound quality and dynamics. New components and materials have been carefully selected and tested to ensure uncompromising sound performance.

The large 8.8" high-resolution display on the front shows album art and metadata in impressive clarity. Connecting to your home network via WiFi is quick and easy with the ARCAM Radia app. Once set up, you can immediately enjoy Apple Airplay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Roon.
