Arcam SA35 Streaming Integrated Amplifier
SA35
The Arcam SA35 is a premium all-in-one streaming amplifier designed for the true music enthusiast. Built on decades of engineering expertise, it faithfully preserves the finest sonic details—capturing every nuance and emotion in your music. Handcrafted in Cambridge, UK, the SA35 goes beyond being a worthy successor to the award-winning SA30. It introduces a completely reimagined digital audio and streaming platform, a newly engineered linear toroidal power supply, an intuitive user interface, and an all-new companion app.
New Streaming Platform
Exquisite sound quality is the result of meticulous engineering, centered around a newly developed 6-layer digital audio and streaming platform. This advanced design features a continuous ground plane that effectively channels noise and interference away from the most sensitive audio circuitry. At its core lies the latest Hyperstream IV DAC architecture from ESS, configured in a balanced topology with advanced jitter elimination for exceptional precision and clarity. Further elevating performance, a newly designed linear toroidal transformer powers the entire system with ultra-low noise, while a secondary switching supply operates only in standby mode for optimal energy efficiency.
Class G Amplifier Design
Built on decades of innovation, Arcam’s fifth-generation Class G amplifier design delivers outstanding sound quality and dynamic range from what has long been recognized as a superior-sounding, more efficient amplifier topology. Every component and material has been carefully selected and rigorously evaluated to ensure uncompromising sonic performance—raising the bar once again for what Class G can achieve.
Features
At the front, the SA35 showcases a new bonded 6.5″ high-resolution display, presenting album artwork and track information in vivid detail—easily readable from the comfort of your listening chair.
