One observation though…
Why streamer if Arcam A25 has USB-C input? Connect mentioned iPhone 12 with lightning to USB-A adapter and USB-A to USB-C cable… Newer devices (iPads/iPhones) with USB-C can be connected straight to the amp.
Apple Music have plenty choices to listen high quality albums and tracks but unfortunately doesn’t have options to stream without their proprietary devices.

I do believe they are missing out on a significant portion of the buying public who are ready to ride those audio-video rails (HDMI) to a combination 2-channels tereo and home theater destination.

Choo-choo!!

I really do like the industrial design of the Radia amps. Understated elegance with just a small splash of color. Nice.

I had a listen to Jonatan Alvarado. Beautiful voice!
