Arcam’s new Radia range of hi-fi separates has already gained acclaim, with the A5 and A15 amplifiers and CD5 CD player all receiving five-star reviews and 2023 What Hi-Fi? Awards wins. Now it’s the turn of the brand’s new music streamer – the Arcam ST5 – to be put on the review chopping block.
Priced at £799, the ST5 goes up against the formidable Cambridge Audio CXN (V2), which has been our favourite network audio player at this price for six years running. There’s also a new crop of streamers from brands such as WiiM and Eversolo, that have reared their heads and shown just how slick a modern network audio player can be – while still delivering enjoyable sound. Can Arcam’s string of successes continue with its new network streamer?
