Arcam Radia A25+ Integrated Amplifier

A25+ is the updated version of the Radia A25, adding HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound/Auracast/aptX Lossless, a new ESS ES9018K2M DAC, and enhanced power supply vs the original A25 (which used ES9280A Pro). The A25 spec page lists DSD256/128/64 support on USB-C; the A25+ page mentions DSD1024 support per Music Direct. Headphone max output: 2.5V into 32Ω, 5V into 300Ω; load range 16Ω–2kΩ. THD at 80% power, 8Ω, 1kHz = 0.002%. SNR (A-wtd, ref. 50W, 1V input) = 106dB analog; 109dB (A-wtd, ref. 50W, 0dBFS) digital. Preamp output clips at ~1Vrms per Audioholics bench test — intended primarily as a subwoofer output. Class G amplifier topology. 3 RCA line inputs + 1 MM phono input. Bluetooth 5.4: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Lossless, LE Audio, Auracast.
