amplifier that not only delivers true
audio filegrade performance, but also
comes loaded with room correction,
streaming, and smart connectivity?
That's right, the Arkham SA30 isn't just
a great amp. It might just be the best
stereo amplifier under $3,500.

price? Let's break it all down and see

Arkham built the SA34 serious audio
fields and home theater enthusiasts.

channel into 8 OM. And it's not just
about raw power. It features advanced
D-Rack live room correction, ESS,
Saberdac, and streaming capabilities

under the hood, the SA30 is built to
impress. Arkham SA30 performance. Let's
talk real world performance. And spoiler
alert, it's seriously impressive. Arkham
SA30 produces a detailed, spacious, and
transparent sound stage. Whether you're
spinning vinyl, streaming from title, or
running a Blu-ray through HDMI arc, it
maintains superb clarity and dynamics.
Even at high volumes, distortion is
barely noticeably a testament to the
class G topology, which combines the
efficiency of class A with the finesse
of class A. We tested it with a pair of
Bowers and Wilkins 7003S3 and a KFR7,
and the results were phenomenal. Its
vocals were rich and centered, while
instruments had air and separation. The
Durac Live calibration made a noticeable
difference, especially in mid-range
balance and bass tightness in untreated
rooms. However, the amp gets warm after
a few hours, though nothing alarming,
and the initial DRA setup might be a bit
techy for beginners. But once dialed in,
the SA30 performs like a true high-end
amplifier, punching way above its
weight. Features and tech. Here's where
the Arkham SA30 really flexes. DRA live

correction tech used in high-end AVRs.

like night and daybase, clearer mids,
and more consistent imaging. ESS Saber

regarded DAXs in hi-fi. Capable of 32bit
192 khertz playback and full MQA
decoding for title masters lovers. This
means ultradetailed and accurate
playback. No external DAC required.
Class G amplification.
Unique to Arkham. This system
intelligently switches power rails to
optimize energy use and reduce
distortion. It delivers the warmth of
class A while remaining cool and
efficient. Streaming built-in chcast,
UPN, and Rune endpoint support make this
amp futurep proof. You can stream
highrace audio from your phone or PC
wirelessly, and it plays nice with
Google Home, too. Design and build. The
SA30's chassis is classic Archam
minimalist and purposeful with a matte
black aluminum front, clear old display,
tactile buttons,
and a solid volume knob. It feels
premium without being flashy. It weighs
in at just over 22 lb and build quality
is tankike. Ventilation is excellent for
a class G amp and while it lacks flashy
LED lighting or color displays, that's
by design. Arkham is all about sound
over style and the clean industrial
design will blend beautifully into any
hi-fi rack or minimalist living room.
Pros: Audio filegrade sound quality with
class G power, built-in DAC live for
room correction, full support for MQA,

HDMI ARC input cons. Direct Live setup

the Arkham SA30 retails around $3,200,
$3,400 USD, depending on the dealer.
While it's definitely a premium product,
the feature to ratio is excellent. When
you factor in the built-in ESS DAC DRA
Live and streaming support, you're
getting the value of multiple components
in a single box. Compared to rivals like
the Hegel H190, NADM10 or Cambridge
Audio Edge A, the SA30 is one of the
most versatile and futureproof choices
for serious home audio activity. You get
seven digital inputs, including HDMI,
ARC, USBB, coax, and optical. On the
analog side, there's a phono input for
MM cartridges. Three RCA lineins and
preout for external amps or subwoofers.
Ethernet and dualband Wi-Fi are builtin,
but Bluetooth is notably missing. Still,
chcast and UPN fill that gap seamlessly.
Ideal user type. This amp is for those
who value audio file sound and want the
best of analog and digital worlds. If
you're re-upgrading from entry-level
integrateds or looking to downsize from
bulky separates without losing fidelity,
the Arkham SA30 should be on your short
list. Final verdict. The Arkham SA30 is
a true audio file all-in-one amp that
bridges the old school charm of analog
sound with the smarts of modern digital
tech. It's ideal for critical listeners,
hi-fi enthusiasts, even casual users
looking for top tier sound in a
clutter-free setup. From streaming title
and highra to decoding MQA and
