Arcam ST5 Network Music Streamer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The ST5 is a high-resolution network music streamer from Arcam (Cambridge, England), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Part of Arcam's award-winning Radia series — whose A5+, A15+, and ST25 all earned What Hi-Fi? Awards in 2025 — the ST5 delivers hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM and DSD128 via an ESS ES9018 DAC with time domain jitter elimination. It supports Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and Roon Ready, and includes a dedicated control link for Arcam Radia amplifiers including the A5+, A15+, and A25+, allowing both components to operate as a single unit from any control device. The ST5 is the entry-level streaming source in the Radia lineup, designed to bring a performance and sonic upgrade to any hi-fi system while sharing individual power supplies with a partnering amplifier for improved sound quality.

ESS ES9018 DAC with Time Domain Jitter Elimination

The ST5 centres on the ESS ES9018 high-resolution DAC, processing all incoming digital audio with time domain jitter elimination to minimise timing errors introduced during network transmission or digital playback. This circuit approach removes jitter artefacts before the conversion stage, resulting in a cleaner, more composed analogue output. The ST5 supports hi-res FLAC, WAV (LPCM), ALAC, AIFF, AAC, and MQA files up to 24-bit/192kHz, plus DSD up to DSD128, alongside standard MP3, MP4, OGG, and WMA. Analogue output frequency response measures 20Hz to 20kHz within ±0.05dB — an exceptionally tight tolerance that reflects the precision of the ESS DAC implementation. Two selectable DAC filters — slow and fast — allow listeners to tailor the presentation, accessible via the included remote control and front-panel display.

Streaming Services and Network Connectivity

The ST5 connects to a home network via dual-band Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet and is configured through the ARCAM Radia app. Once connected, it supports Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, UPnP for NAS and local network playback, USB media from a connected USB-A drive, Internet Radio, Podcasts, and Qobuz and Amazon Music via the Radia app. MQA decoding is fully supported, enabling bit-perfect rendering of Tidal's highest-resolution MQA streams. Output options cover analogue stereo RCA, coaxial digital (RCA), and optical digital (TOSLINK), making the ST5 compatible with any amplifier or preamplifier regardless of input type. Note that the ST5 does not include Bluetooth connectivity — wireless audio is handled via Wi-Fi using AirPlay 2 or Chromecast.

Arcam Radia Control Link

The ST5 includes a dedicated control link port that pairs it directly with any Arcam Radia amplifier — A5+, A15+, or A25+ — using the supplied control cable. Once linked, both components respond as a single integrated unit from the ARCAM Radia app or the remote control, with input switching and volume control coordinated across the two chassis. Beyond convenience, this pairing delivers a sonic benefit: keeping the streaming and amplification functions in separate boxes with individual power supplies eliminates the noise coupling that occurs inside a single-chassis streaming amplifier, resulting in a cleaner signal path and improved sound quality from the combination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arcam ST5?

The Arcam ST5 is an entry-level network music streamer from Arcam, a British hi-fi manufacturer based in Cambridge, England, supporting hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM and DSD128 via an ESS ES9018 DAC with time domain jitter elimination. It is the streaming entry point of Arcam's Radia series and is designed to pair with the Arcam A5+, A15+, or A25+ integrated amplifiers via a dedicated control link. The ST5 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

How does the Arcam ST5 compare to the WiiM Pro Plus and Bluesound Node?

The Arcam ST5, WiiM Pro Plus, and Bluesound Node are all network streamers in a similar price range. The WiiM Pro Plus and Bluesound Node both offer Bluetooth connectivity and more feature-rich control apps, with the Bluesound Node adding Dirac Live room correction. The ST5 differentiates itself through its ESS ES9018 DAC with time domain jitter elimination, MQA decoding, the dedicated Arcam Radia control link for pairing with Arcam amplifiers, and its matching Radia series form factor. Listeners who prioritise Bluetooth wireless streaming should note that the ST5 does not include Bluetooth — all wireless connectivity is handled via Wi-Fi using AirPlay 2 or Chromecast.

Does the Arcam ST5 have Bluetooth?

No, the Arcam ST5 does not include Bluetooth connectivity. Wireless audio is supported via Wi-Fi through Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, which offer higher audio quality than standard Bluetooth for most streaming scenarios. Listeners who require Bluetooth transmission or reception in a Radia-series streamer should consider the Arcam ST25, which is the premium model in the lineup and does not include Bluetooth either — Bluetooth functionality is built into the Arcam A5+, A15+, and A25+ amplifiers.

Is the Arcam ST5 Roon Ready?

Yes, the Arcam ST5 is fully Roon Ready certified, functioning as a Roon endpoint that can be discovered and controlled directly from the Roon application on any compatible device on the same network. Roon users can bypass the ARCAM Radia app entirely and use Roon as their primary control and playback interface for the ST5.

What streaming services does the Arcam ST5 support?

The ST5 supports Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, UPnP for local network and NAS playback, USB media from a connected drive, Internet Radio, and Podcasts. Qobuz and Amazon Music are accessible via the ARCAM Radia app. MQA decoding is supported for Tidal HiFi Plus subscribers.

Where can I buy the Arcam ST5 in Toronto or Canada?

The Arcam ST5 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Arcam dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full Arcam Radia lineup and can demonstrate the ST5 paired with the Arcam A5+ or A15+ integrated amplifier as a complete Radia streaming system.

Can the Arcam ST5 be used with non-Arcam amplifiers?

Yes, the ST5 is fully compatible with any amplifier or preamplifier. Its stereo RCA analogue output connects to any line-level input, while its coaxial and optical digital outputs feed any DAC-equipped amplifier or integrated amplifier. The Arcam Radia control link is an optional convenience feature for Arcam Radia amplifier owners and does not affect compatibility with third-party equipment.

What is MQA and does the Arcam ST5 support it?

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an audio coding technology developed to deliver studio-quality recordings in a file size compatible with streaming. The Arcam ST5 includes full MQA decoding, enabling it to fully unfold MQA files from Tidal HiFi Plus to their highest available resolution through both its analogue and digital outputs. This is handled internally by the ESS ES9018 DAC, requiring no additional external MQA decoder.

Easy to assemble, does the job, material is shiny nylon and shows creases, minor defects, sloppy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W, Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin room divider is a good idea, and for the price, it mostly delivers on the intended functionality. I ordered the 12 foot, 3-panel version mainly to hide an unfinished basement storage area that had become an eyesore. It works well for that purpose and gives the space a cleaner appearance without spending the kind of money that more decorative dividers or custom partitions cost. If you need something temporary, portable, or mainly functional, this is a viable option. There are a few limitations that became obvious during setup and use. The first thing I noticed was that the weld quality on some of the metal poles is fairly sloppy. Once the cover is installed, you do not really see it, but up close, it does not look especially refined or professional. The blackout material also is not a matte canvas style fabric as I expected. It has more of a shiny nylon appearance, and the creases are fairly visible. Being that it’s more of a nylon, I’d be hesitant to try steaming it to remove the creases. However, the creases do not matter if you are using it in a basement, dorm, or shared room, but for photography, video work, or a professional office setting, the appearance could be disappointing. The fabric is thick enough, though. It blocks visibility well enough, but strong light behind it still shows through to some extent, nothing deal-breaking. Also, my fabric appeared to be slightly defective. The hook and loop strip on one of the bottom sections was off-center and couldn't be totally attached because it was lined up with one of the legs. I originally hoped to use this as a video backdrop, but I will probably end up replacing the fabric with a proper green screen or canvas material while continuing to use the frame itself. For now, it does a good job of covering my basement junk. Assembly was actually easier than I expected and took roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The longer vertical poles are tethered together similarly to tent poles, which made setup straightforward and fairly intuitive. The shorter horizontal pieces slide and snap together to the top and bottom of the vertical assembly. After each section is assembled, the divider panels connect together with metal plates and two knurled screws (at the top and bottom), so no tools are really required. A few screws were difficult to start because paint had gotten into the threads, but once they caught, they tightened down normally. The feet install with similar knurled fasteners and help keep the divider reasonably stable. One thing to watch for during setup is the fabric orientation. There is one arrow indicator in the middle of the fabric to indicate up. However, if you need another indicator, the smaller hook and loop strip goes on the bottom while the longer strip goes on top. I realized mine was upside down right before finishing and had to redo it. I wasn't difficult to redo, despite the defect in mine. The overall design is practical and easy to move around. I do like that the panels can fold and bend into different shapes depending on the space. The widened feet help stability, although when trying to stretch the fabric tight, I noticed the poles sometimes wanted to overlap slightly at the joints. Tightening everything helped somewhat, but it still happened occasionally. The divider feels adequate for normal indoor use, though I would not expect premium durability or luxury-level fit and finish at this price point. The entire device can also be easily disabled and stored in a tote if you need it completely out of the way. It comes with assembly instructions, but even if you didn’t have them, it’s easy to build without them (save a mistake or two). In terms of value, I think the Siebwin divider mostly matches its price. Around $100 gets you a large freestanding partition with decent usability and easy assembly, but there are compromises in materials, appearance, and refinement. The defects are also off-putting, but hopefully you won't have them. Higher-end room dividers can easily cost two or three times more, so some of the tradeoffs are expected. I also noticed cheaper alternatives online, but based on the quality here, I suspect those would probably have even more issues. For practical home use, temporary privacy, hiding storage areas, or separating shared spaces, this is a good option as long as expectations stay realistic.

Works well but takes up more space than expected
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This room divider does the job for creating a little extra privacy and was easy enough to set up. The panels feel decent quality and the wider feet help keep it more stable than some cheaper screens I’ve tried. My only issue is that it takes up a bit more room than I expected, especially with the feet sticking out. It’s still portable and folds away nicely, but definitely measure your space first. Overall it works well for separating a room or blocking off an area temporarily. i wish it came in other colors

Nice divider, serves it's purpose well!
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
This room divider worked out very well for what I needed. I wanted a simple way to create a little more privacy and separation in a larger room without doing anything permanent, and this divider was an easy solution. The panels provide good coverage, and the black color gives it a clean, modern appearance that blends in nicely with different décor styles. Assembly was fairly straightforward, and once set up, the wider feet helped keep the divider stable on the floor. I was especially happy with how flexible the panels are to arrange. You can keep it mostly straight, angle it around furniture, or create a more enclosed private space depending on the layout you need. The material allows light to filter through slightly while still offering a noticeable sense of privacy. I’ve used it for separating a workspace area, but it would also work well in bedrooms, apartments, dorms, studios, or shared living spaces. Another plus is that it can be folded and moved without too much effort when you want to change the setup. Overall, this divider delivers a good balance of functionality, portability, and appearance. It’s a practical option for anyone needing temporary room separation without installing permanent walls or curtains.

Perfect for Adding Privacy to a Piano Studio
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
I Ordered the 2 Panel version which is way too big for my needs... that's on me. So keep in mind that the picture shows a fabric made for two panels only being used on one and hence it is not pulled tight; it would pull tight and not be so wrinkly if it was set up properly as two panels. The metal pools that make up the panels seem to be well made, stable, and of good quality. They were very easy to put together and they stand up tall with plenty of height. The appearance of it with the fabric on it isn't as elegant as it could be, but it still looks good enough. The material is plenty solid, not allowing light through it, and thereby making a solid barrier. I am using it to block the view out the studio door when a student is sitting at the piano to avoid distractions from the hallway. It will allow a student to enter the studio with our distracting the student who is at the piano.

Room Divider That Gives Instant “This Is a Separate Space Now” Energy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin 3 Panel Folding Privacy Screen is surprisingly effective at changing the feel of a room without requiring construction, commitment, or somebody yelling about load bearing walls. The 12 foot width gives a substantial amount of coverage, making it useful for creating privacy, dividing open areas, blocking visual clutter, or setting up temporary sections within larger rooms. This saved us a ton of time and money in our new studio and enabled us to create a kitchen and office in one room. The wider feet make a huge difference because flimsy room dividers that collapse every time someone exhales too aggressively are deeply annoying. This one feels more stable and grounded once positioned. The folding design makes it easy to move around or adjust depending on the space, and it folds down relatively compactly when not in use. It is basically the introvert curtain wall of dreams. The material has a clean, neutral look that blends well into different room styles without screaming “temporary office cubicle panic.” It works well for apartments, studios, shared spaces, dressing areas, or simply hiding the mountain of chaos you swear you are going to organize tomorrow. Practical, portable, and refreshingly easy to use without turning setup into a three hour emotional event.
