Product Information
”Offering clear sonic improvements, Arcam's A5+ dethrones its predecessor to take this year's prize.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 award-winner.
Classic all-rounder that puts music first
Refining an award-winner, the Arcam A5+ is even better at extracting the very best from all your music sources. The ‘plus’ model takes advantage of the latest Bluetooth technology, with Snapdragon Sound for wireless lossless audio and Auracast for connecting to wireless speakers and headphones. Arcam’s smooth, detailed audio remains as impressive as ever, with a richly-balanced sound that suits all sources, from a turntable to a TV.
Perfectly balanced sound
Just like its award-winning predecessor, the Arcam A5+ features a highly optimised Class AB amplifier. With premium components, the sound quality is clean and precise, while still retaining the smooth and richly detailed sonic signature that has made Arcam so popular over the past decades.
Ample power
Outputting 50 watts per channel, the A5+ has ample power to drive most speakers in a typical living room environment. With vanishingly low levels of distortion, it maintains higher volume levels without sounding strained or harsh.
High resolution digital sound
Featuring a premium quality ESS ES9018 DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the A5+ transforms the sound from all your digital components. From TV to CD, and taking in your games console along the way, the ESS DAC delivers ultra-precise sound with incredibly low levels of distortion.
Advanced Bluetooth connectivity
Extending wireless Bluetooth connectivity to its limits, the A5+ features Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast compatibility. This means that you can stream lossless audio, wirelessly via Bluetooth from your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer. Auracast facilitates wireless connectivity with compatible headphones and speakers.
A treat for your turntable
Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A5+’s built-in phono stage makes a top quality connection for your turntable. Suited to turntables with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, the high spec phono stage draws a deep seam of information from your vinyl, letting you hear subtle details from the music that might previously have been missed.
Sleek style
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the A5+ looks sleek and stylish. With just two dials and subtle illumination, the amp strikes the perfect balance in catching the eye without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing includes the volume and input dials, giving a high quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.
Optimise the sound from all your music sources, with the Arcam A5+.
