  • @ianbolton9882
    Thanks for the review which persuaded me to purchase one at a discounted price recently. My first Streaming DAC and I’m very happy.
  • @dexterts1
    Thank you for another great review! I have an Arcam SA30 streaming amplifier for more then a year,and could not be happier. They really are understated brand in today’s world of hi-fi.
  • +1 .. Always, always the very best. Thank You, M/S .. Vail, Colorado
  • Nice looking piece of kit at a reasonable price, plenty of connectivity and it shows that hi fi is improving all the time. great review thank you Hanz.
  • @Zoomerland
    Your video reviews are the best! As an instrumentation EE I can judge you take a serious and methodical approach to assess this product. Thank You!
  • @markj4066
    Another impressive review. Hans is the best. Comparing products in different price tiers is so helpful.
  • Your clear explanation of the layout of the circuitry really sets your work at the top as far I’m concerned. Great work again sir!
  • @aussie8114
    Sounds like a good one, presuming the app is not buggy.
  • @zorqis
    Nice coverage. I love that you always include a review of the internals. It would be nice to know if the sound signature is maintained or improved when it's used only as a digital transport, i.e. via a separate DAC. The functionality itself is nice, especially with this many digital inputs.

    I purchased the Arcam ST60. Regarding the sound quality, I could not agree more with your review. Thank you.
  • First of all Hans we love your 100% commitment to your Weekly Shows. At the iEar Audioshow in Tilburg. The Vivid Audio Giya’s were demonstrated using this Arcam’s ST60 streamer and SA30 amplifier. When comparing to most other systems on the show, the ‘free sound’ of Vivid clearly stood out! Although the €500.000 Focal/ Naim combination was pretty good too, but overly bright for my taste. Hans, how close is the sound quality between the Arcam’s ST60 & Auralic Altair you reviewed last year? Considering the Arcam only got one switching PS and no shealding what so ever.
