Severely disappointed, I don’t hear a big difference is the sound of the ST60 and playing something through bluetooth. I can’t tell if there is something wrong with the unit or it’s just not as good as people want you to believe.
The app is horrible, it’s embarrassing that something so bad is paired with something so expensive. It has AirPlay 2, but if you have Apple Music you’ll have to get used to a lower quality stream, since it’s not built into the app itself. The only positive thing I can say is the screen is nice, but not good enough to justify $1000 on sale.

Amazing streamer for the price. Even though it was released 2 years ago, I purchased an open-box item. for ~$800. To get an Arcam at this price is amazing!

I’m not undermining the other reviews. This review is for the particular unit I received. It simply did not work. Won’t connect through ethernet. It took very long to recognize my USB and during that time, the unit seems like frozen. The dial knob is so touchy. It jumps, skips a line item which makes it so difficult choose want I wanted to accomplish. The app is underwhelming. All of the items I mentioned were actually the ones I also read from different user reviews but it seems the unit I got has all the issues all in one. That must be the main reason why that unit was an open box. I made it to play music but was not in the mood to listen to the quality given all the troubles setting it up. Not sure if I will give another NEW unit a try.

I purchased the Arcam ST60 from Best Buy on 10/29/2022. I delayed my purchase until I knew that Tidal Connect feature was working with this component. Like Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect allows the use of the native Tidal iOS app to control the Arcam ST60. The only issues that I had with this unit were during the first hour that I was trying to get it to work. Thereafter, I had no problems. After connecting the unit to the Internet, Arcam ST60 will automatically update its software. I think that my initial problems were present because the Tidal Connect functionality, a new feature, had not yet been downloaded. I am thoroughly impressed with his unit, especially while listening to Tidal with a Hifi Plus subscription (MQA). While other users criticize the Arcam MusicLife app, I find that i have little need to use the MusicLife app, since Tidal Connect on an iPad works so seamlessly and flawlessly. With that said, I did not find the MusicLife app difficult to use. Using Airplay, Apple Music is also excellent. Spotify Connect is also wonderful. I use this streamer with an Arcam A49 integrated amplifier with the output set to fixed. I have also changed the output to variable and used the Arcam ST60 as a preamplifier with great results. I have no complaints whatsoever about the sound quality. The bass is plentiful. Most noticeable about the sound quality is the absolute dead silence in the silent parts of music and in between tracks. On the bottom part of the remote, the buttons that are clearly labeled “volume” will only control the volume on Arcam amplifier such as my Arcam A49. In the middle part of the remote, where a circular array of buttons are located, the top and bottom buttons in the circle, which are less conspicuously labeled as “volume”, are used to control the volume of the Arcam ST60 when it used as a preamplifier. It took me a while to find this information, so I thought that I would mention it.

I bought the item used and it just wasn’t working, sound was coming out only from 1 channel and then no sound at all. So I returned it.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with any high-end stereo system, the ST60 supports a variety of streaming platforms, including Spotify, Tidal, and Qobuz, with Hi-Res Audio compatibility that makes your favorite tracks sound incredibly detailed and lifelike.
The sound quality is the standout feature here.

I have bought a Wiim Pro Plus DAC, the sound was not right.
Digital harshness and the soundstage drifted between left and right channels. was not happy with the Wiim.
I decided to buy the Arcam ST60 and the difference is night and day. Super satisfied, highly recommend to all who want the best out the your system.
Very musical streamer and the sound stage is wide and good front and back imaging. Customer service is also top notch.

After my Bluesound Node 2 died (out of warranty) and Bluesound wanted me to pay $380 to repair it (crazy expensive) decided to try the ARCAM ST60. Oh boy, thanks God my Node 2 died. This streamer sounds incredible. Makes my Node 2 sounds like Sony Walkman from the 80s. The only let down s that it’s not Roon Certified yet but it should be getting the certification any time soon. meanwhile I’m using it with its MusicLife app (not so great) and mConnect HD app (much better). I use it mostly to stream from TIDAL (MQA) and from my Synology DS1019+ NAS. Works without any issues.
