Follow an Accessible, Affordable, and Accomplished Path to High-End Audio: 50Wpc Arcam Radia A5+ Integrated Amplifier Supports Digital, Wireless, and Analog

The “A” in the Arcam stands for “amplification” but when it comes to the British company’s Radia A5+ integrated amplifier, it might as well represent “accessible.” An ideal choice for listeners looking to upgrade to entry-level high-end performance and those seeking a more affordable option, the 3.26 x 16.97 x 13.54-inch (HWD) unit merges smart construction, modern technology, and versatile connectivity into a package that will fit almost anywhere you want to hear involving music.

Bolstered by a SABRE ES9018K2M DAC, built-in Snapdragon Sound (via Bluetooth) and Auracast wireless capability, and three pairs of line-level inputs, A5+ handles traditional and wireless digital as well as it accommodates vinyl LP playback via a built-in MM phonostage. Outputting a conservative 50Wpc, A5+ also touts one optical and two coaxial outputs, and supports up to 24-bit/192kHz. Want to listen in private? Plug into the headphone output or connect wirelessly. 

Housed in a vibration-resistant vented aluminum chassis and appointed with nicely weighted dials, the 17.6-pound A5+ looks as clean as it sounds. Full bodied, smooth, controlled, composed, open, and able to play at louder volumes without stress: A5+ hits those marks and more. 

Need more convincing? Check out the impressive specs — particularly for total harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio — for verification that what you’ll experience will value purity, naturalism, detail, and definition. A five-year manufacturer warranty, remote control, and our Satisfaction Guarantee round out this high-value offering.
