Power perfected
Beneath R710’s sleek exterior is a modern switch-mode power supply, which provides optimised feeds to the system’s electronics and custom amplifiers. Diligence has been paid in the layout of the circuit boards, keeping signal paths short, with optimal grounding for low noise. With audio-grade components used throughout and a powerful output of 200 watts per channel, R710 produces sound that is effortless, making all genres of music engaging and enjoyable.
Tangible tactility
The tactility of R710 is tangible throughout. Our RotoDial controller has been a hallmark of our products since 2006, and redeveloped for our 100 Series, it makes operating R710 easy and enjoyable. Also included is a matching rechargeable Bluetooth remote. Beautiful to see and hold, it is something you’ll genuinely love using every day. Finally adding further to R710’s aura, is the large colour display. From system menus to station and album artwork, everything is displayed with crystal clarity.
Everything a serious listener needs
With its quad-core processor, R710 handles high-resolution streaming with ease. Featuring Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Internet Radio and HD Bluetooth, it offers countless ways to enjoy music. R710 also supports playback from networked media servers and USB storage devices, and its HDMI ARC/eARC capability delivers an immersive sound experience for film and TV viewing.
At Ruark, we love the convenience that streaming offers, but also, we are lifelong vinyl and CD enthusiasts and R710 has been designed to renew your connection with these timeless formats. Its built-in phono stage allows easy connection of a turntable and the integrated CD player, subtly concealed within the wooden slats, is a stroke of genius. With uncompressed audio, CD can still better streaming in sound quality, and as possibly the last tangible music format, we believe that CDs are here to stay.

Apple AirPlay
AirPlay is Apple’s proprietary wireless streaming technology, enabling high-resolution audio to be sent over Wi-Fi from iOS apps such as Apple Music, Deezer, BBC Sounds and TuneIn Radio directly to all our 100 Series products.
Google Cast
Google Cast is Google’s wireless streaming technology. While primarily associated with Android devices, it is also supported by many iOS apps.
Using Google Cast, you can stream music directly over Wi-Fi to any of our 100 Series products from apps such as Amazon Music and BBC Sounds, with high-resolution audio quality.
Google Cast also supports voice control when used with a Google Nest Hub or compatible smart speaker. Initial setup requires the Google Home app, but once configured, you can simply say, “Hey Google, play BBC Radio 3 on my R710” etc, and playback will begin accordingly.
Spotify Connect
Spotify Connect is one of the world’s most popular music streaming platforms, allowing you to stream music over Wi-Fi directly to any of our 100 Series products. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device’s battery, because playback is delivered directly from Spotify’s cloud to your 100 Series product rather than through your smartphone or tablet. This means you can take calls, send messages or even switch off your device completely without interrupting playback.
Tidal Connect
With most of its music content in a high-resolution format, Tidal Connect has become popular with Wi-Fi enthusiasts worldwide. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device battery power, because the TIDAL Connect service pushes music directly from the TIDAL cloud to 100 Series products rather than playing through the device. This means that you can take calls and messages without interruption or even switch off your device completely.
Apple Music
Apple Music is Apple’s own music streaming service, giving subscribers access to over 100 million songs. Using built-in Apple AirPlay, you can stream wirelessly from Apple Music directly to any of our 100 Series products.
Amazon Music
If you are an Amazon Music user, you can browse music/playlists and control playback directly from within the Amazon Music app to any of our 100 Series models using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast.
BBC Sounds
BBC Sounds is a great app that puts everything BBC radio-related into one easy-to-use application. Compatible with both AirPlay and Google Cast means that you can browse and control playback directly from within the BBC Sounds app and push your selection directly to any of our 100 Series products with high-resolution sound.
Deezer
Deezer users can browse music/playlists and control playback directly from within the Deezer application to any of our 100 Series models using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast with best quality sound guaranteed.
Qobuz Connect
Qobuz Connect is a relatively new music streaming service and like Tidal, it is building its reputation on offering the best quality audio streams along with an exciting and eclectic choice of music. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device battery power, because the Qobuz Connect technology pushes music directly from the Qobuz cloud to 100 Series products rather than playing through the device. This means that you can take calls and messages without interruption or even switch off your device completely.
Internet radio
The choice of Internet radio stations is vast and, in general, sound quality is superior to that of DAB or FM. Have fun browsing national and international stations and save your favourites as presets for easy access using 100 Series’ intuitive RotoDial controllers. Up to 20 stations can be stored for quick recall.
Integrated CD player
R710’s integrated CD player lets you enjoy this timeless format at its very best. With uncompressed audio, CDs can still surpass streaming in sound quality and, as the last truly tangible music format, remain highly valued by collectors and serious listeners alike.
Headphone support
R710 supports wired headphones through its 3.5mm stereo jack socket and additionally supports wireless Bluetooth devices such as speakers and headphones where up to 6 devices can be paired and selected. Please note that when Bluetooth devices are connected and playing, the main speaker outputs will be muted.
Powerful output
With up to 200 watts per channel, R710 is a powerful device capable of getting the best performance from most high-fidelity loudspeakers. It also has whisper quiet cooling fans built-in, which turn on automatically and vent air around the power supply and amplifier when needed, so when the going gets tough you can be sure that the interior will remain as cool and composed as the exterior.
Bluetooth HD
With a high-quality aptX HD Bluetooth receiver built-in, it means you can directly stream high-definition sound from your smartphone or computer to any of our 100 Series models without the need of a Wi-Fi connection. All our 100 Series models remember up to eight previously connected devices, making it easy to switch as required. Ideal in a busy family environment.
Wi-Fi
Our 100 Series models are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz compatible so they will wirelessly connect and communicate with all dual-band Wi-Fi routers.
Ethernet
The Ethernet connection on our 100 Series models allows a direct link to your home network by connecting an Ethernet cable from the product to your router. A wired connection delivers optimum performance and avoids potential Wi-Fi signal issues around the home. If a direct cable run is impractical, Ethernet powerline adaptors can also be an effective solution, particularly in areas where the Wi-Fi signal is weak.
HDMI
With their HDMI ARC/eARC input, all our 100 Series products make superb sound systems for TVs and a complete solution for your home entertainment needs. ARC/eARC connection also means you can use your TV remote to adjust volume whilst viewing as well as turn on and off.
Optical input
The switchable optical input on our 100 Series models allows you to easily connect external streaming devices or TVs that do not have HDMI ARC connection.
Turntable input
All our 100 Series models feature two sets of switchable RCA inputs.
The phono-in is a dedicated turntable input with a high-quality RIAA phono stage built-in, allowing turntables with a moving magnet cartridge to be directly connected without the need for a separate preamplifier.
The line-in input allows you to connect a variety of other auxiliary devices with line-level outputs, such as a standard CD player or gaming console.
Subwoofer output
R410, R610 and R710 all feature a dedicated subwoofer output, so if you want extra bass output, then an active subwoofer can be easily connected. Our own RS1 Subwoofer is an ideal option.
Multiroom
Using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast, you can build an easy-to-manage multi-room system, linking our 100 Series models together or with other AirPlay and Google Cast compatible speakers.
Wireless updates
Wireless updates allow us to deliver over-the-air improvements to our 100 Series models, whether to add new features or resolve reported issues, ensuring they always perform as intended.
Media servers
The Media Servers source on all our 100 Series models means you can store downloaded music or ripped CDs on a shared PC, Mac or NAS drive to create your own home music library and then browse and playback using the Media Servers source.
Audio formats
Our 100 Series models are capable of supporting all the most popular audio file formats to the highest resolutions, providing true high-fidelity reproduction.
MP3 up to 48kHz 320kbps
AAC up to 96kHz 320kbps
FLAC, AIFF, ALAC and WAV up to 32-bit 192kHz
