An amplifier with a balanced sound image

The Arcam A25 is equipped with a Class-G amplifier that delivers incredibly powerful and efficient sound. This amplifier sets a new standard for sound quality with generous power and extremely low distortion. With 100 watts per channel, this is Arcam's most powerful Radia amplifier, ensuring deep, powerful bass and lively sound, even in larger rooms and with low-efficiency speakers.

The special feature of Class-G technology is that it combines the characteristics of both Class-A and Class-AB amplifiers to achieve a better balance between efficiency and performance. The technology works by switching between two power supply stages, which minimizes energy loss and keeps distortion to a minimum. This makes the A25 more energy efficient and ensures that the amplifier stays cool even during intense listening sessions.

The dynamic response of the Class-G amplifier means that the A25 is able to quickly adapt to changes in the dynamics of the music. This results in a precise and detailed sound reproduction that captures the nuance and finesse of the music.

Built-in RIAA amplifier for your turntable

The A25 is more than just an amplifier - its built-in RIAA amplifier ensures a first-class connection to your turntable with MM (Moving Magnet) pickup. The high-performance RIAA amplifier is able to extract the deepest information from your vinyl records, so you can discover subtle details that may have been overlooked before.

Enjoy hi-res sound from USB-C, Bluetooth, TV or your (wireless) headphones

Unique to the A25 model, this Arcam amplifier has a USB-C input. Connect your laptop, PC or Mac and enjoy Hi-Res music streaming in the highest quality. With an upgraded ESS DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), the A25 supports DSD (Direct Stream Digital) for the widest range of Hi-Res music formats.

The A25 is also equipped with Bluetooth Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology, so you can both send and receive sound via bluetooth in hi-res format. You can thus connect your TV or headphones wirelessly to your amplifier, and experience uncompromising sound quality. AptX technology makes it possible to deliver 24-bit hi-res streaming via wireless connection with compatible devices. For headphone users, the A25 has both Bluetooth and wired connectivity, so you can listen to music from both your wireless or wired headphones.

Connect all your sources

With the built-in DAC, the A25 optimizes the sound from your digital audio sources. USB-C, two coaxial and one optical input allow you to connect your computer, TV, game console and digital music source. Three RCA phono inputs also make it possible to connect analogue sources such as an FM tuner.

Arcam Link - A cool new feature

A smart feature in the new Radia series is Arcam Link, which means that the amplifier switches on automatically when you switch on the streamer and switch to the correct streamer input. Arcam Link also allows you to control the analog volume control on the amplifier through the App. In this way, you get a nice simple operation and you maintain the good sound quality.

Design in a special class

The external appearance of the Arcam CD5 is a tribute to elegance and modern design. The surface is smooth and matte black, broken up by the characteristic Radia yellow details. The top of the device displays subtle ventilation cutouts that are discreetly integrated into a pattern of dynamic lines, ensuring a flawless aesthetic. The rear of the unit is reminiscent of the ornate rear diffusers found on high-performance cars, effectively hiding the less flattering connections. To ensure optimal user interaction, the buttons have been redesigned with elegant curves, a satin black finish and anti-fingerprint texture.
