Checked all the boxes
Initial review. Setup is a pain. You must have a LAN line with a computer hooked up to the network to setup. Little to no instructions. APP is 2 1/2 out of 5. Mind you I’ve only had it 24hrs. Still can’t figure out how to stream on it yet. But have it up and running and breaking in via airplay. Sounds good and detailed hopefully to only get better. For someone running a Tekton Enzo XL Origin live Aurora turntable with zephyr arm upgrade while still being able to to have wireless and a HDMI port picking are slim then add in 4 ohm stable and choices get even less. For a true HIFI integrate 2.0 system with room correction this is about the only thing on the market. Costume service is good called and waited less then three mins and talked to ole boy for over an hour before I bought it yesterday. Will update at a later time when I get this thing figured out.

Love the Arcam warmth
The SA30 is a great do-it-all integrated amp. Plenty powerful enough for my KEF R3s and with Arcam's signature warmth (the "class G" amp is basically a class A at lower listening levels). Lots of streaming options as well, and the kicker is Dirac Live room correction. That will do more for a sound system than any other upgrade.

Excellent sound and many source connections
Pluses - First, the sound: excellent for music. Second, connections: plenty. Third, power: plenty. Fourth: built like a tank, should last forever. Fifth: the price is good at around $2K, do not pay more. Minuses - First, the installation was complicated, but I got familiar with almost everything after a while (be prepared to visit various forums and YouTube videos). Second: not convinced by DIRAC, mixed results. Third: design for the amplifier and the remote control are not horrible, but do not exsude any luxury or even character. Fourth: the interfaces on the amplifier, the phone app or my PC browser are dated. Overall, that's a keeper as it sounds very good, is feature-rich, eliminating a lot of add-ons that make it suitable to stay in a living room without tons of components and cables around.
