  • Our take on the ARCAM ST5 Music Streamer

    The Arcam ST5 is a dedicated network streamer from Arcam's Radia line, built to feed a hi-fi system rather than play music itself. It has no built-in amplifier or speakers, so it needs a DAC, integrated amp or powered speakers to make sound. It supports high-resolution streaming over Wi-Fi and Ethernet, with USB for local files, and its clean black half-width case matches the rest of the Radia range. Buyers choose it over all-in-one streamers when they already own good amplification and want a tidy, well-built transport with Arcam's house sound.

    Questions and answers

    Does the Arcam ST5 have a built-in amplifier?
    No. It is a streamer only and needs an amplifier, DAC or powered speakers to play music.
    Can I connect it to my existing hi-fi system?
    Yes. It feeds an integrated amp or DAC through its digital outputs, so it slots into most separates systems.
    Does it support high-resolution streaming?
    Yes. It handles high-resolution files over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and from USB drives, within the limits of the services and files you use.
    Is Wi-Fi good enough, or should I use Ethernet?
    Wi-Fi works for most streaming, but a wired Ethernet connection is more stable for large high-resolution files.
    What is in the box?
    The streamer, a power cable, a remote and basic documentation. Cables for your amplifier are not included.
    How does it compare with an all-in-one streamer?
    It gives you a better transport and case for the same outlay if you already own good amplification, but an all-in-one adds amp and speakers in one box.
    Where is the ARCAM ST5 Music Streamer cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $879.95, as of our latest check.
