We’re big fans of Ruark’s high-end audio kit: when we reviewed theRuark MR1 MK2speakers we gave them five stars and said they were up there with the very best. But until now Ruark hasn’t made a hi-res audio streamer. That’s changed with the launch of the Ruark R410 Integrated Music System, which appears to have taken our entire hi-fi wish list and put it into a single and very good-looking system.
Ruark R410: key specifications and pricing
This system appears to be the Swiss Army knife of audio, with an RIAA phono input, TOSLINK digital input, HDMI with eARC and UPnP media server compatibility as well as the aforementioned streaming service support. Its twin 20mm silk dome tweeters are supplemented with twin 100mm long thrown NS+ bass mid units and dual bass reflex enclosures. The digital amplifiers are new, and Ruark says they deliver high efficiency and high output with very low distortion: “along with audiophile-grade components, Burr-Brown DACs, a fully active speaker system and the latest audio processing technologies we have achieved a magical leap in performance,” Ruark says.
Given the performance of the MR1s I don’t doubt that the R410 will sound amazing, and I think it looks pretty spectacular too: all the tech is wrapped in absolutely gorgeous seventies-inspired grilles and enclosures, and the case is made from sustainable woods that have been spliced, coloured and recomposed to produce wood that has the appearance of hardwoods but is less prone to changing over time.
