Ruark Audio R710 Streaming CD Music System

Description

Ruark R710 CD Hi-Fi Console

The Ruark R710 is a beautifully designed all-in-one hi-fi console that combines powerful amplification, high-resolution music streaming and CD playback in one elegant system.

Inspired by classic 1970s audio design but built around thoroughly modern technology, the R710 is designed for listeners who want genuine hi-fi performance without filling the room with separate components. Add a pair of quality passive speakers and you have a complete music system capable of handling streaming, CDs, vinyl, TV sound and more.

Powerful 200w Per Channel Amplification

At the heart of the R710 is a high-quality Class-D amplifier delivering up to 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Ruark has used a modern switch-mode power supply, carefully laid-out circuitry and audio-grade components to minimise noise and maintain a clean signal path. The result is effortless power with enough control and headroom to drive a wide range of high-quality bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers.

The R710 is particularly well suited to Ruark's own Sabre-R and Talisman-R speakers, creating a stylish and beautifully matched complete hi-fi system.

Integrated CD Player

For listeners who still value a physical music collection, the R710 incorporates a discreet slot-loading CD player behind its distinctive wooden slatted fascia.

It supports standard Red Book audio CDs and CD-R discs, allowing your existing CD collection to sit comfortably alongside modern streaming services.

High-Resolution Music Streaming

A powerful quad-core processor gives the R710 the performance required for modern high-resolution streaming, with support for music files up to 32-bit/192kHz.

Support for popular streaming services is comprehensive with the R710 featuring Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast and Internet Radio.

The R710 also supports playback from compatible network media servers and USB storage, making it easy to access locally stored music libraries.

Hi-Res Burr-Brown DAC

Ruark has equipped the R710 with a high-quality Burr-Brown 32-bit/192kHz DAC, providing detailed and refined digital-to-analogue conversion for streamed music and connected digital sources.

aptX HD Bluetooth

For quick and convenient wireless playback, the R710 includes Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, AAC and SBC support.

Bluetooth headphones are also supported, giving you the option of private wireless listening without needing an additional headphone transmitter. Wired headphones can be connected through the conventional 3.5mm headphone output.

Connect Your Turntable

Vinyl listeners are well catered for thanks to an integrated moving magnet phono stage. Simply connect a compatible turntable directly to the R710 without the need for a separate phono preamplifier. A conventional RCA line input is also provided for other analogue components.

Transform Your TV Sound

The R710 is more than a music system. Its HDMI ARC/eARC input allows it to become the audio hub for your television.

Connect a compatible TV through HDMI and the R710 can provide a substantial improvement over built-in television speakers, with TV remote volume control making everyday operation straightforward. An optical digital input is also provided for additional TVs and digital sources.

Add a Subwoofer

A dedicated RCA subwoofer output makes it easy to add an active subwoofer if additional low-frequency weight is required. Ruark's own RS1 subwoofer is a natural partner, although the R710 can be used with a wide range of compatible active subwoofers.

Elegant 100 Series Design

The R710 has been designed to look as good as it sounds. Its beautifully proportioned cabinet combines premium finishes with Ruark's distinctive wooden slatted fascia, creating a system that feels more like a carefully designed piece of furniture than conventional hi-fi equipment.

A large 6.8-inch colour TFT display provides clear access to menus, album artwork and station information, while Ruark's signature RotoDial controller gives the R710 a tactile and intuitive feel.

A matching rechargeable wireless remote control is also supplied.
