I recently changed to this amp paired with an Arcam ST60 streamer running a pair of KEF LS50 Meta speakers. I changed from a Yamaha RN803D because the pairing with the Meta’s, although amazing, was to bright and fatiguing. The Meta’s with the Arcam SA20 is absolutely perfect. The amp takes that sharpness out of the speakers. The highs are still perfect but not tiring. The mids are rich and the lows are tight and heavy. No sub required in my medium sized room. The Yamaha went into my small room, paired with Q Acoustics 3030i speakers. The volume is cranked up high and turned down halfway on the loudness control. That pairing is absolute perfection. Great review, keep it up.
Stunning and gorgeous. The Arcam isn't bad looking either. 🤣 Excellent review. Just got one of these Amps the other day but haven't been able to listen yet, as waiting on speaker cable. I wanted to get a cds50 cd player but very difficult to find new now as discontinued. One for sale in London at £899, which is an absolute piss take. Offered them £600. Goung to run the Arcam with QED revelation speaker cable to Q acoustics 3050i floorstanders.

So how is the amp working out for you? What speakers do you use ? How's the SQ and the internal dac?
im saving up for this amp
use a USB to toslink adapter to connect a laptop hard wire or a WiiM Mini for AirPlay, Tidal or Spotify Connect
