The Best in Show awards for the virtual CEDIA Expo 2020 have been announced, featuring a broad range of products across sound, display, and consumer tech.
Arcam’s ST60 music streamer – the UK hi-fi specialist’s first-ever dedicated streaming device, which is compatible with Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Napster, and Deezer – took out the nod from What Hi-Fi?, which judged it from the perspective of home entertainment enthusiasts.
The Arcam ST60 is set to arrive in the UK in the fourth quarter of 2020 and will retail for £1199, which converts to $2111 AUD; official Australian pricing and release date have not been announced.
Residential Systems and TWICE also picked their best-in-show awards from the expo (below), with TWICE judging from the perspective of consumer electronics retailers, and Residential Systems for residential integrators.
