Stream high-resolution audio from your favorite services with native Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz Connect, or use Apple AirPlay and Google Cast.

And with its HDMI eARC input, the R610 can transform your TV's sound, bringing rich, dynamic, and room-filling audio to your movies and games.

Powerful, High-Fidelity Sound

At the heart of the R610 is a powerful and dynamic 75-watt-per-channel Class-D amplifier. This robust power plant provides the grip and control necessary to drive a wide variety of high-quality loudspeakers with ease, delivering a sound that is both authoritative and musically engaging. All digital sources are handled by a high-performance 32-bit/384kHz DAC, ensuring that every subtle detail and nuance in the recording is revealed. With audio enhancements like Stereo+ for an expanded soundstage, the R610 delivers a performance that is vastly larger than its compact dimensions suggest.

Intuitive Control, Beautifully Presented

The experience of using the R610 is as refined as its sound. The large, 5-inch color TFT display provides a beautiful, at-a-glance view of your music, rendering album art in vibrant detail. All of this power is controlled by Ruark’s iconic RotoDial, which has been reimagined as a sleek, rechargeable Bluetooth remote. This provides the same satisfying, tactile control you know and love, but with the freedom to command your system from the comfort of your favorite chair.

Timeless British Design

The R610 is not just an audio component; it is a beautiful piece of furniture, designed to enhance your living space. Its compact, low-profile cabinet is available in a choice of a rich Fused Walnut veneer or a sophisticated Satin Charcoal lacquer, both of which are exquisitely finished. The clean lines, premium materials, and signature RotoDial controller are a testament to Ruark’s commitment to timeless, understated British design. It’s an instrument that looks as beautiful and considered as it sounds.
