Low Distortion, Clean Power, Punchy Performance: 80Wpc Arcam Radia A15 Integrated Amplifier Features MM Phonostage, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, SABRE DAC

Ample power to drive tower loudspeakers to satisfying levels, high-res aptX Adaptive Bluetooth technology, and ultra-low-distortion operation come together to make the Arcam Radia A15 integrated amplifier one of the finest values in its class. The addition of a line-level preamplifier output also means it will allow you to expand and upgrade without changing up your amplification source if you choose in the future. 

Augmented by an ESS SABRE ES9018 DAC, a built-in MM phonostage, and three pairs of line-level inputs, A15 handles traditional and wireless digital as well as vinyl. Outputting a hefty 80Wpc, A15 also touts one optical and two coaxial outputs, and supports up to 24-bit/192kHz. Want to listen in private? Plug into the front-panel headphone output or connect wirelessly. 

Housed in a vibration-resistant vented aluminum chassis and graced with finely weighted dials, the 22-pound A15 looks as clean and sleek as it sounds. Take it from the experts at What Hi-Fi?, who write: "Stereo imaging is expansive, stable and nicely layered, and remains so as the musical complexity and volume level rises." And: "Tonally, it sounds neutral with no obvious emphasis in any part of the frequency range." Compared to its impressive sibling, A5, A15 benefits from enhanced composure and control, command and scale. 

Glance at the impressive specs — total harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio, especially — for further proof that what you’ll experience will value purity, naturalism, detail, and definition. A five-year manufacturer warranty, remote control, and our Satisfaction Guarantee come standard.
