High-Performance Network Streaming with Audiophile Digital Conversion
The Arcam ST60 Streamer is a dedicated high-performance network audio player designed to bring modern streaming capability to serious two-channel systems. Built around ARCAM's ESS Sabre digital-to-analog conversion platform, the ST60 combines network playback, digital-source connectivity and high-quality analog output stages in a component designed to complement premium integrated amplifiers and separates.
Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Roon Ready and MQA support provide flexible access to digital music, while UPnP playback accommodates compatible network libraries. Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs allow direct connection to a stereo amplifier or preamplifier, and optical/coaxial digital outputs let the ST60 operate as a dedicated network transport with an external DAC.
