The Arcas represents Denafrips’ top-of-the-line streamer, positioned above the Arce.
Both models offer support for streaming protocols such as Roon Bridge (with pending Roon Ready), HQPlayer NAA, Airplay, and DLNA. The ARCAS distinguishes itself by using additional premium components and expanded connectivity options and more versatile digital outputs, such as duo I2S and duo AES/EBU.
Denafrips’ worldwide distributor, Vinshine, claims to have subjected the new model to extensive listening tests, comparing the Arcas streamer to the Arce streamer in stereo audio systems and reference headphone setups, consistently and definitively identifying the Arcas streamer as providing superior sound quality.
According to Vinshine, the Arcas streamer stands out for conveying music more fully, vividly, and organically. And its ability to evoke emotion and create a three-dimensional holographic soundstage.
