Connect to your network via wi-fi or Ethernet and stream from your music app of choice. Compatible with AirPlay 2 and GoogleCast, the player suits most music apps available on Apple and Android smartphone and tablet devices.

The large display clearly shows the current track information and artwork, meaning you’re not reliant on your smartphone for this. If you prefer to stream from your own music storage, UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play) compatibility means it collaborates with a wide range of third party apps for effortless music network streaming.

Reference quality sound

Coming from one of the UK’s leading hi-fi companies, the Arcam ST60 Network Music Player/Streamer has been developed for class-leading sound quality. At its heart is a world-class, ESS Sabre 9038PRO DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). Used in conjunction with tight tolerance, rail-to-rail op-amps in the DAC filter and high precision components, it delivers sensational sound quality with ultra-low levels of distortion.

Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and Roon

As well as offering the dynamic range to make the most of Hi-Res music, the ST60 also supports many associated formats. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible. Roon Endpoint status means it’s compatible with the award-winning music player – including Hi-Res files.

Plus, it’s also a stand-alone DAC

Thanks to the Arcam ST60 Network Music Player/Streamer featuring twin optical and coaxial digital inputs, it can also be used as a stand-alone DAC.

This means that you can plug in other components, such as your CD player, TV, set-top box, games console and get access to the 32-bit, reference quality ESS DAC. More than just a music streamer, the ST60 also gives your existing digital components a huge boost in sound quality.

MusicLife control app

Take full control of streaming music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app (now available for Android and Apple iOS devices).

Working with the wireless system, it lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.

Studio quality XLR balanced outputs

In addition to regular RCA analogue, coaxial and optical digital outputs the ST60 is also equipped with XLR balanced audio outputs. Connect to a compatible amplifier and you’ll have a truly professional connection with ultra-low signal loss – even over longer runs.
