Arcam A5+ Integrated Amplifier

A 50 Wpc class-AB amp with Bluetooth, a phonostage, and wired or wireless headphone capability.

Amplification is Arcam's core competence, and the A5 is the latest in more than 45 years of amplifier design and manufacture. Now, the A5+ adds Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Lossless, and a transformer redesign that lowers noise.

In addition to carefully selected hi-fi components, the A5 comes with a modern convenience that lets you play music straight out of the box: Bluetooth capability. The latest Radia “+” models introduce a major update to Bluetooth performance.

Built on the new Bluetooth 5.4 platform, they add support for LE Audio with the LC3 codec for cleaner, more efficient wireless sound, along with next-generation features such as Auracast for shared listening and broader device compatibility. They also include aptX Lossless for true CD-quality streaming from supported devices. This upgrade significantly improves wireless sound quality, reduces latency, and future-proofs the amplifier for the growing ecosystem of LE Audio headphones, earbuds, and assistive-listening products.

For optimum sound quality, you can upgrade to the separate, matching Arcam ST5 streaming DAC that has a special connection just for the A5. 

There is also a high-quality onboard phonostage to ensure your records sound as lush and engaging as possible.
