It’s slightly disappointing that this is a me too product from Arcam. I’m still holding out for a modernized Solo Mini - sans CD player. The Solo Uno is not that product.

A streamer is only as good as the software...so given Arcam’s recent track record there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

ST60 is a half-baked product with teething problems:
No Spotify connect despite advertising (google cast only so keep you phone charger handy)
No Tidal connect
No Roon ready despite advertising (FW v813)
Terrible Music Life app - better off with mConnect (chargeable)
Last FW update (v1164) BRICKED my unit, and it was sent for repair
Last FW update (v1164) OTA only but see above and be warned!
Roon ready was added (FW v1164) but I can not verify it until my unit returns from service

What's good about it?
Sound, especially MQA from Tidal - lots of air and space BUT base is not as good as it could/should be.

I can not recommend this product to anyone.
