Does the A15+ have a DAC and HDMI for a TV?

Yes. It has a built-in ESS ES9018K2M DAC and an HDMI eARC input that accepts PCM stereo up to 24-bit/192 kHz with lip-sync.

Can I connect a turntable directly?

Yes, through the onboard moving-magnet phono stage. Moving-coil cartridges need a separate step-up device or phono preamp.

How much power does it deliver?

80 watts per channel into 8 ohms, Class AB, with low distortion. That is enough for most bookshelf and tower speakers in a normal room.

Can I add a subwoofer or a bigger power amp?

Yes. Stereo pre-outs let you feed a powered subwoofer or an external amplifier as your system grows.

Does it stream music over Wi-Fi?

No. Wireless playback is through Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, LE Audio and Auracast; there is no built-in network streamer.

What Bluetooth features does it support?

Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, LE Audio and Auracast, which allows sharing audio to multiple compatible headphones.

About the Arcam A15+ Stereo integrated amplifier

The Arcam Radia A15+ is a stereo integrated amplifier with Class AB amplification. It delivers 2 × 80 W into 8 Ω and 2 × 120 W into 4 Ω. Total harmonic distortion is 0.002% at 80% power into 8 Ω at 1 kHz.

It has an ESS ES9018K2M DAC for digital playback. Digital inputs include HDMI eARC/ARC for TV audio, which carries PCM stereo up to 24-bit/192 kHz. HDMI auto-switch is supported and enabled by default, and the TV remote can control volume. Bluetooth 5.4 works in both directions, so the amp can receive audio or send it to headphones. It supports Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, LE Audio and Auracast.

The amp also has a built-in moving-magnet phono stage for turntables and a front-panel headphone jack. Stereo pre-outs connect a powered subwoofer or an external power amp.
