- Comprehensive connectivity: HDMI eARC/ARC, USB-C, optical & coaxial digital inputs, balanced XLR, multiple RCA inputs, and a high-quality MM/MC phono stage.
- Two-way Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast support.
The amplifier features a centrally located power supply and meticulously separated signal paths, reflecting ARCAM’s obsessive attention to detail in minimising crosstalk and noise.
CD25: Premium CD Playback for the Radia Series
