Hi-fi is slowly but surely getting smaller, surer and more convenient. The one-box solution is the ultimate testament to that fact, with more and more big brands throwing their best brains together… all into one box. And with each one, the quality just keeps getting better.
Which leads us onto…
That’s Arcam’s third generation contribution. The Arcam Solo Music All-In-One Hi-fi System. We’re excited – and if you know anything (anything at all) about Arcam, you will understand why.
“Over the last 30 years, Arcam has earned a reputation as one of the world’s finest manufacturers of hi-fi components. Music has always been the driving force behind all we do, and we wanted to distil our audiophile expertise into a product that would widen the reach of what we do as a specialist manufacturer. We set out to deliver a level of performance that would meet the exacting standards of our design team in a single component, making true high fidelity more accessible than ever before.” ~ Arcam
This is the third Solo Music (there is also a Movie version, which we’ll touch upon at a later time), the most advanced and feature-laden Arcam one box yet. Arcam have always been ahead of their time in pretty much every regard, so this is a particularly exciting model housed in a very sleek, compact and hugely easy to operate little box.
Here’s what’s underneath:
– Audiophile-grade CD/SACD player
– 50 watts per channel amplifier
– DAB digital radio
– high quality FM tuner
It’s both powerful, and full of features, each delivering world-class sound and operation. It is both easy and fun to use, and covers most of the bases required by an all-in-one and is very easy to set up too. Even the biggest technophobes will find it a breeze.
This is essentially an alternative to the glorious Naim Uniti Qute 2 and Naim Uniti Lite BT, which the Solo Music sits between price-wise with less of a focus on streaming. It also serves as an alternative to Linn’s Sneaky DSM – a similar one-box at a similar price. So far, the acclaim has been thunderous, and with very good reason! Every detail has been beautfifully crafted to echo that sentiment of small, sure and convenient, all the while boasting incredible power, and even better sound.
A winner? Definitely, and worth your consideration should you be in the market for a one-box-system.
