R610 Music Console

Designed to be seen, the R610 Music Console delivers the kind of aesthetic appeal and ease of use uncommonly
seen among hi-fi components. With tactile soft touch buttons, a precisely weighted control dial, and a matching Bluetooth remote, operating R610 is a completely intuitive experience. A crisp colour display confirms every command, as well as highlighting custom and album/station artwork in perfect clarity.
Created with sound purity as the priority, this devotion to detail is matched within R610. Powering the music
console is a modern switch mode power supply, which provides dedicated and optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and latest generation digital stereo amplifiers. With audio-grade components used throughout, including Burr-Brown DACs and a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, R610 is controlled and dynamic - but most importantly, it delivers a delightfully natural sound that makes music all the more enjoyable.

Thanks to its powerful CPU, R610 is able to decode the best quality audio streams - and with Internet Radio,
Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay and Google Cast are all built-in, so an entire universe of music discovery is just a few button clicks away. Built to be versatile, the R610 also makes it easy to rediscover treasured physical music formats. A high-quality phono pre-amp makes it simple to connect a turntable, while
CD fans will be able to integrate Ruark’s soon-to-be-launched CD Drive which will connect via the USB socket
on the rear of R610. This CD Drive will also be compatible with R410 and R810.

Last but not least, R610’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection provides a great sound solution for those seeking a
system that elevates both music and film. When on sale, customers can choose to purchase the R610 Music Console and the Sabre-R bookshelf speakers together as a complete system. Alternatively, with both units meticulously designed to excel in their own right, each product can be purchased individually for use with other suitable amplifiers or speakers.
