Product information
The Arcam HDA SA30 integrated amplifier belongs to the new generation of models and features the latest technologies. It has a large aluminum front panel with a prominent display and essential control buttons. Despite its relatively compact size (100mm in height), the unit weighs 12kg, indicating its robust construction.
The Arcam HDA SA30 amplifier delivers 120 watts per channel at 8 ohms and nearly doubles that output when driving 4-ohm speakers. This impressive performance is achieved through the use of Class G amplifier topology, which efficiently utilizes the power supply. In terms of functionality, the Arcam HDA SA30 can serve as the centerpiece of a home entertainment system. It offers five analog inputs, including two inputs specifically designed for connecting MM and MC phono cartridges. Additionally, the amplifier features a state-of-the-art digital section based on the ESS9038K2M DAC. It includes digital and optical inputs, as well as an HDMI input with eARC technology, allowing it to be connected to a television for high-quality audio reproduction in movies and TV shows.
The Arcam HDA SA30 also incorporates the latest streaming technologies. It supports both wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, enabling playback of virtually unlimited music content. The amplifier provides access to files on various networked devices, supports Chromecast and AirPlay 2, and can play music from popular online services such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and Deezer. It also supports the MQA digital format and can function as an endpoint in multi-room systems based on Roon technology.
Another important feature of the Arcam HDA SA30 is the inclusion of Dirac Live room correction technology, which allows for customized sound adjustments for each signal source, with three user-defined presets. Detailed instructions for room calibration can be found on the official model website. The Arcam HDA SA30 can be controlled using the provided remote control or via IP protocol.
