Ruark R610 Music Console

Designed to Perform

The R610 Music Console offers an aesthetic appeal rarely found among hi-fi components, coupled with an equally exceptional attention to detail internally. At its heart lies a modern switch mode power supply, providing optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and the latest generation digital amplifiers. Equipped with Burr-Brown DACs and audio-grade components throughout, and delivering a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, the R610 is both controlled and dynamic. Most importantly, it produces an exquisitely natural sound that makes listening to music thoroughly enjoyable.

You’re in Control

Since 2006, The RotoDial controller has been a hallmark of Ruarks products. For the 100 Series, we’ve refined its design even further. With tactile soft-touch buttons and a precisely weighted control dial, operating R610 is a pleasure. Enhancing the user experience, a crisp 5” TFT display confirms every command and showcases album and station artwork in perfect clarity. A matching rechargeable remote is included, and with Bluetooth connectivity, you don’t need to aim it directly, allowing you to relax and fully control R610 from a distance.

Divine Connection

The R610 streaming amplifier offers comprehensive connectivity options, equipped with a powerful processor that can handle the highest quality audio streams. With built-in support for Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay, and Google Cast, it provides a wide array of music waiting to be explored.

Additionally, R610 facilitates the enjoyment of cherished physical music formats. It features a high-quality phono stage for seamless turntable connection, and we will soon introduce our Compact Disc Player, R-CD100, designed to integrate with R610 and other 100 Series models through the USB port on the back. Finally, the HDMI ARC/eARC connection on R610 ensures an exceptional audio solution for TV and film enthusiasts, enhancing their viewing experience significantly.

5* Star product
"All-in-one hi-fi is continuing to gain traction. The once compromised lifestyle option has shaped up to the degree where sound quality is no longer a major issue. Ruark has been one of the prime movers in making this happen and the R610 and Sabre-R combo is a triumph of evocative retro style with modern smarts and sonic reach, albeit gifted an invitingly rosy glow."

ONE-BOX SYSTEM WINNER - Ruark Audio R610 / Sabre-R

"Hi-fi that’s designed to blend seamlessly with domestic surroundings – or even raise their tone – is often frowned upon by audio purists. But Ruark’s R610 Music Console shows you can have a fine-sounding music maker that’s also pleasing to the eye. This retro-styled box streams, plays DAB/FM radio, Bluetooth, digital inputs and HDMI e-ARC skilfully, yet boasts a classy satin charcoal lacquer finish with walnut trim. It's a 75W Class D amp that powers Ruark’s handsome 2-way Sabre-R standmounters, giving a crisp, warm and open sound. Great value for those seeking a small, stylish system." Read the full review.
