Overview

FIG 4 Overview

Arcam’s ST60 Network player
Arcam’s ST60 network player provides class leading sound quality for the best reproduction of your music from digital HiFi separates and the various internet streaming services that are on offer.

Drawing on the many years of audio design experience at Arcam, this product uses the best quality components and engineering practice to produce a product that will give many years of musical pleasure and reliable service.

The ST60 is designed to produce a level of performance that will truly bring your music to life.

Placing The Unit
Place the ST60 on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
Do not place the ST60 on top of a power amplifier or other source of heat.

Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control.

Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is too close.

The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or move the unit to another location.

Power
The ST60 is supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied fits your supply – should you require a new mains lead, please contact your Arcam dealer.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, please contact your Arcam dealer immediately

Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the power socket on the back of the ST60, making sure that it is pushed in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your mains socket and switch the socket on.

Interconnect Cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables that are designed for the particular application. Other cables will have different impedance characteristics that will degrade the performance of your system (for example, do not use cabling intended for video use to carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as is practically possible.

It is good practice when connecting your equipment to make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.

ST60 DAC Digital Filters

The ST60 allows the listener to choose between a number of digital filters for use in the audio DAC.

Digital filters are required to minimise unwanted antialiasing distortion in the audio band but no digital filter is perfect, all are a compromise between various parameters. These include:

Frequency response – Audio level with respect to frequency. Ideally this should not vary significantly between 20Hz and 20kHz.

Phase – The time delay introduced between reproducing different frequencies within the pass band of the filter. Ideally this would be as low as possible (linear phase).

Pre ringing – Additional audio artefacts that precede the original audio impulse. These are sometimes thought to be bad as this phenomenon does not exist in the natural world, so ideally this should be as low level and last for as short a time as possible.

Post ringing – Additional audio artefacts that follow the original audio impulse. Ideally these should be as low in level and last for as short a time as possible.

Aliasing – Additional audio artefacts introduced into the audio band from high frequency signals.

We have chosen our default filter through a combination of careful measurement and listening tests and we believe they are the best compromise to achieve the best listening experience. However, all of the filters sacrifice performance of one parameter to improve another. Therefore, dependant on your choice of listening material and personal preference, you may wish to choose one of the other options. There is no universal right or wrong choice

Note that any audible differences are most likely to be heard with sample rates of 48kHz and below.

Hybrid Filters
Brick Wall
No phase shift, but introduces both pre and post ringing artefacts.

Corrected Minimum Phase
Low pre-ringing and the phase response varies at higher frequencies. There is more post ringing compared with linear phase and apodizing filters.

Apodizing (default)
A compromise between phase, frequency response and ringing. Its main advantage is that it removes most of the ringing that has been introduced upstream in the recording process when the original material was recorded and mastered.

Minimum Phase Filters
Minimum Phase Slow Roll Off
No pre-ringing artefacts but can introduce phase shifts at higher frequencies. It has less post ringing than the Minimum Phase Fast Roll Off, but this is still higher than the linear phase filter options. Very high frequencies in the last half octave of the filter pass band will be slightly attenuated.

Minimum Phase Fast Roll Off
No pre-ringing and the phase response varies at higher frequencies. There are significantly higher amounts of post ringing compared with the linear phase filter options.

Linear Phase Filters
Linear Phase Slow Roll Off
Low and equal levels of pre and post ringing. No phase shifts but can introduce high frequency aliasing at a higher level than linear phase fast roll off. Very high frequencies will be slightly attenuated.

Linear Phase Fast Roll Off
Higher and equal levels of pre and post ringing compared with linear phase slow roll off. No phase shifts and with minimal high frequency aliasing compared with slow roll off.
