Ruark R710 CD Hi-Fi Console
Made for Living. Made for Listening.
The Ruark R710 is a seamlessly integrated hi-fi console that brings together the warmth of 1970s-inspired design with the full capability of modern streaming and digital audio technology. At Ruark, the belief that music has the power to lift the spirit, calm the mind, and make ordinary days special is the foundation of every product the company creates. The R710 is the fullest expression of that philosophy: a complete music system combining an integrated slot-loading CD player, a powerful 2 x 200-watt Class D amplifier, Burr-Brown 32-bit/192kHz DAC and ADC, and a comprehensive suite of streaming services in a single, beautifully considered console that you will genuinely want in your home.
Power Perfected
Beneath the R710’s sleek exterior is a modern switch-mode power supply that provides optimised feeds to the system’s electronics and custom amplifiers. Diligent attention has been paid to circuit board layout, keeping signal paths short with optimal grounding for low noise throughout. Audio-grade components are used across the entire signal chain, and the result is a 2 x 200-watt Class D amplifier rated at 0.01% THD into 4 ohms that produces sound that is effortless and engaging across every genre. Frequency response extends from 22Hz to 22kHz within plus or minus 3dB, and adjustable bass and treble controls, switchable Loudness EQ, and Switchable Stereo+ provide further tonal flexibility for any listening environment.
Everything a Serious Listener Needs
Powered by a quad-core processor, the R710 handles high-resolution streaming with complete ease. Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, internet radio, and HD Bluetooth with aptX HD are all built in, providing countless ways to enjoy music from every major service and source. The R710 also supports playback from UPnP/DLNA networked media servers, USB storage devices, and optical input up to 24-bit/96kHz PCM, while HDMI ARC/eARC capability delivers an immersive sound experience for film and television viewing. Multiroom capability is provided via Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, and over-the-air, LAN, and USB software updates ensure the R710 remains current throughout its life.
A Renewed Connection with Timeless Formats
Ruark’s enthusiasm for streaming is matched by a lifelong love of vinyl and CD, and the R710 has been designed to renew your connection with these enduring formats. The built-in MM phono stage allows straightforward turntable connection with a maximum input of 8mV, while the integrated CD player, subtly concealed within the wooden slats of the cabinet, plays Red Book CD-DA and CD-R with uncompressed audio quality that can still surpass streaming in sonic terms. At Ruark, the CD is considered a format that is genuinely here to stay, and the R710 treats it accordingly.
Tangible Tactility and Refined Presentation
The R710’s tactility is evident throughout. Ruark’s signature RotoDial controller, a hallmark of the brand since 2006 and redeveloped for the 100 Series, makes everyday operation genuinely enjoyable. A large 6.8-inch high-contrast colour TFT display with auto dimming presents system menus, station information, and album artwork with crystal clarity from across the room. The included rechargeable Bluetooth wireless remote is beautiful to hold and a pleasure to use, and 20 global presets, eight daily alarms, and a fully adjustable auto standby mode complete a user experience of considerable refinement. The R710 is available in two finishes: Fused Walnut cabinet with Fused Walnut facia, and Charcoal Lacquer cabinet with Fused Walnut facia.
